Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | That's an EZ pump, not a filter, Shep described it well. They do nothing at all to cause any cavitation, they are just at the surface under power and don't open the water up or disturb water flow in front of the prop coming to plane. It makes no sense that the wear would occur when powering to plane at all, what's your tach doing as you come up on plane, and are you keeping the engine trimmed all the way down until you come on to plane; what's your time- to- plane? Are these painted stainless or aluminum props? What you see there is happening when you are running on plane, I'd wager. The EZ pumps use head pressure to keep water flowing on plane.
As mentioned below, your transducer is in the wrong place. It should be mounted in the tunnel on the starboard side, I'd move that. The EZ Pumps are not the problem. |
