The only help really is to pay attention to what you are doing. You have to really watch the water. In 3 years i have never had any damage from sucking anything up.

When you are in shallow water, really make sure you dont go much above idle. These boats are capable of sucking a soft ball size rock from 2 ft if you gun the throttle. So really be aware when you are in shallow water and when you are out in deeper water just keep scanning the water for junk floating.

Thanks again is there a intake grate to buy that would help out ?

Nope, anything you try to add will actually impede the flow of water.
