Good Evening All!
Took my New to me 2005 180 Challenger Intercooled w/SC out this last weekend with a full load - 5 Adults & 2 Youths and cavitation over 5K. It was a great day so just idled it up and down the Columbia for a couple hours. Got it home and on the hydro-lift and crawled under to see if I had a debris issue. To my surprise the ICS Grates are missing (Looks like PO did this) The Impeller looked to be free of debris and decent shape - the ring looks scuffed up - so will plan on replacing that. So in reading threads I see some have opted to remove the grates since the ICS doesn't seem to work that well (if at all). But considering the amount of debris in the river I think I really need to have something there. Looking for suggestions
Much Appreciated
