Another option to further reduce cavitation is a rough water plate. A rough water plate may be helpful in
reducing cavitation when running in windy, rough water conditions where air is sucked into the water intake
when jumping waves. Install a 0.8 mm (1/32 in.) metal plate that extends from the hull bottom to the top of
the water intake housing. This plate tends to reduce air intake as well as reduce spray.
