Hi, looking at your Trudesign switch over I see the old bronze screen removed. Did you replace it or just leave an open intake?
I ask because I installed Trudesign 9 years ago except for the engine intake. I replaced that one last year but didn't put a screen on. Last summer I had an overheating episode when some fish swam up into the intake and pluged up the seawater strainer.
