| The thing you are pointing at is not an intake filter. It helps force water into the livewell pump when on plane. It's not likely to be causing your cavitation issue, unless your motor is too high. Looks like you had two, and one is missing. It is adjustable and should only extend below the transom a very little.
You haven't given enough information. When does it cavitate? On acceleration? Once on plane and trimmed out? During turns? It's an aluminum prop. What pitch? What RPMs at WOT?How high is the motor mounted? Put a straight edge along the bottom with the motor trimmed level, and check.
Picture looks like it's hitting something because the paint isn't off the end, it's in a bit. Is it possible the blades are flexing and hitting the trim tab?
Provide some answers above, and I'd bet Steve( VMS) will have some answers for you.
Not heard of this issue on any Esox Mags, and I know quite a few guys that run them.
