there will be 2 screen replacements .about the size of a penny. i trimmed almost all the rubber on edges of screen and gently pressed it into the intake tube after removing the black nipple. replace black nipple and you are done. after a few launching and landings some sand will collect on screen, but not enough to stop flow . a few good pumps with peddles to get flow going to prime the tank is all that is needed. gallons per minute flow rate is reduced , but nothing that affects bait. one thing is for sure . grass is not going up inside.

. been using for about 4 outings . so far , so good.
