Excuse my ignorance here seeings how my only experience with jet drive is the SeaDoo GTX I had, but is there such a thing as an aftermarket intake for the 160?  On my GTX I installed a Worx Performance Maxi-loader and was quite pleased with my Doo's ability to stay hooked-up and not cavitate.  I noticed on my first time out that when things got a bit rough, the 160 would unload in situations I don't think it should.

TIA!!

I have never seen such at thing or heard of such a thing, but maybe someone else here on the site knows something that I don't and can fill us in.

No ignorance.... unfortunately, there are no products available for the jetboats as far as the intake is concerned. All it takes to unload is the front of the intake tunnel out of the water, which happens when you jump things......I'm not saying it's not possible to doo, just no one has developed these for the boats that I know of.

Yeah....that's what I was thinking since my Google searching hadn't turned up anything yet.  Methinks a call to Worx or Place or one of the other intake folks may be in order.  I'll let ya know what I find out.
