[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 369804, member: 1523"] I'd get rid of all of it and ad a decent shallow spoon onto the front of the inlet. At the speeds you'll be running you not have problems picking up trash but you will have troubles with air ingestion. Only about the last 5' of my hull are in the water at 45+, the pump inlet is @ 3' from the original transom. The spoon helps keep the pump inlet drawing water vs. chunks of air. When I go over weed clumps at speed the hull is going too fast for any trash to draw into the pump. At low speeds I've had troubles but not at WOT. Oh yeah, for your cables, just move your driving station to where they will work. I had to run a shaft to the bottom of the hull for my steering but the throttle cable was long enough to reuse.
