Evinrude outboard jet drive issue

[Lordscottpg]

Had a rough day on the river; ended up finding a nice pointy rock to mash my jet intake into; no major damage. But there are two cracks running from the bottom of the intake almost to the flange where it bolts to the jet drive. Wondering if I can just have these welded, or if I need to bite the bullet and replace the whole intake. Drove alright still.... Made'er back to the launch.

Thanks!!!

If it ran allright. I'd just try and have it welded.

Thanks for reply, ran into a welder at the gas station this morning and he said no problem to Tig weld'er to seal the cracks.
