Cavitation problem of Kawasaki U-250

Ski had cavitation problem when test ride on water.
Specially I felt when open throttle quickly.
Cause of problem was sealing of scoop grate.
This ski was fitted after market scoop grate already when customer brought this ski.
Now silicon seal been came off and suck air from that area.
That was main cause of cavitation problem.
The ski has no cavitation problem after re-sealing.
