Features and Benefits of
Intake Grates
WORX RACING INTAKE GRATES
The Intake Grate, Scoop Grate or Intake Screen, as its known, has a very important
function in PWC operation and performance. This is the area where the water first
enters the jet unit before moving through the impellor and stator section.
Most OEM intake grates are simply flat bars for ease of manufacturing. While these
OEM units do achieve their purpose, they do little to promote water flow into the
pump area for maximum jet unit efficiency. Some later model OEM grates have moved
to a winged style similar to that of an aftermarket grate but often have oversized
scoop surface area or aggressive scoop angles that limit the PWC’s top speed.
WORX INTAKE GRATE BENEFITS:
• Increased acceleration and reduction in cavitation with better scoop design
directing more water into the jet unit.
• Top loading design to direct more water to the top of the pump tunnel area for
even water flow into the jet pump.
• Increased hook up in rough water providing better drive in rough conditions and a
reduction in the ski bouncing.
• Increased hook up also provides better handling and predictability with straight
line tracking and cornering.
• Aluminum construction with stronger bar supports for better protection against
large debris. (Huge increase in strength over plastic OEM units.)
• WORX grate with larger ramp areas have option to purchase pump plug kits to
further eliminate cavitation sealing hollow cavities.
• Tested in all race conditions around the world by multiple World Champions.
APPLICATIONS:
• Racing – Closed circuit racing both flat water and ocean.
• Watersports towing – Maximises water intake into the jet pump for improved
‘pull’.
• Inshore and Offshore fishing – Directs optimal water flow to the impeller in all
sea states.
• Cruising/exploring/social club riding – For all conditions a more efficient water
intake solution.
