As most of you know I am currently in the process of restoring my old Sanger. While getting ready for the new gel coating I have completely de-rigged my boat, and while I was scraping the petrified intkae gasket off I noticed how rough the inlet casting was.My question is, is there any benefit to cleaning up and smoothing out the casting, or would I be wasting my time?

The benefits would be minimal, but IMHO worth doing if you are going to utilize a plug style hand hole cover that fills the entire hole and the suction piece is smoothed as well...

Probably never tell from a seat of the pants performance aspect, but it sure is easier on the impeller as far as cavitation burn....

If you are going to leave things relatively stock, I still do not think of it as a waste of time being that it only takes about an hour to smooth things up a bit...
