Hey guy's,

So last time I had the boat out it was blowing water strait up in the air about a foot or so from what I could see it looked to be coming from where the Bowl and Deflector connect. I took out the Deflector today and noticed some of the surface at the top of the Deflector was worn down about 1/16 as well as in the Bowl at the top. My question is if the surface of the Deflector and Bowl are not 100% smooth could this cause water to blow out of the connection at the Deflector and Bowl?

Here's a pick of the top of the Deflector...
