I've tried a piece of plywood. It initially overheated the engine one night. So I drilled a few holes in the plywood with a hole-saw. That helps, but I don't feel it's a good solution. The cargo net idea might work better. Was it just left open like this from the factory or was there something

Bruce, On my 1994 37/40+ there is an access port in the head bulkhead. This makes it easier to work on the raw water pump and starter. I don't know how you would access either without it. You might want to dress the face of the pump with a smooth flat file, just to remove a thigh spots that

Note that you may also have an O ring or 2 on the shaft that the impeller turns on that are on the engine side of the impeller. On my Beta, there were 2 O rings between the impeller and the engine--these keep the water out of the crankcase, etc. If these are bad or the shaft is 'scored',
