Cavitation Solved!

[Sotally Tober]

Well... I figured out the source of my cavitation issue ?‍

Hopefully you can just cut all that away and pull it out. Let us know how you handle it and results.

Looks like an easy enough job with a razor blade or seven. What is that, netting?

I built a special 20 inch knife for removing those types of things via the intake grate

I would say it's time to put the kite away.

This is where hook blades are super helpful!

That will definitely come in handy. I will be attacking this mess tomorrow after work with these bad boys:

Absolutely! I will be using one tomorrow... hopefully it works.

I laughed out load when I saw the pictures. Please accept my apologies @Sotally Tober

Might be faster and easier to just pull the pump and slide that whole mess right off the shaft without cutting any of it.

Just think of all those poor girls on his stripper pole who lost all those string bikini's! I bet they're freezing now!

Someone missing a fishing net somewhere......LOL

Alright.... after 2 hours and a badly cut finger I managed to get the net clear with the exception of the crap that’s wrapped up beyond the shaft. Any tips on getting it free? Will this come free during normal operation?

If it were mine I think I would pull the pump right out just to avoid any seal damage

Is that a tough job? Keep in mind the extent of my mechanical knowledge is changing oil and spark plugs....

Any fish brains stuck in there with that Trout line?

I’ve never done it, but there are posts about it showing it only takes about half hour. Also some videos on YouTube Looks easy enough
