Flojet Strainer Cover Replacement f/1720, 1740, 46200 & 46400

The Flojet Strainer Cover Replacement for 1720, 1740, 46200 & 46400 is an essential wear item for any boater or angler who relies on deck wash systems and raw water intake strainers. After years of running saltwater through pumps, the strainer cover takes a beating from UV exposure, corrosion, and constant washdown cycles. When yours cracks, warps, or stops sealing effectively, replacement becomes critical to prevent debris from fouling your raw water circuit and causing pump cavitation or reduced flow during critical moments on the water.

This OEM Flojet strainer cover is engineered to maintain a water-tight seal over the inlet strainer basket, protecting the internal screen from large debris while allowing full flow to the pump head. The compact 6 × 1 × 6 inch design fits flush with standard Flojet deck wash and raw water systems, and its lightweight construction (0.1 lbs) won't add unnecessary topside weight. Flojet's proven durability in marine applications means this cover is built to resist UV degradation and saltwater corrosion better than aftermarket alternatives, ensuring your strainer stays sealed and performing season after season.

Owners of center consoles, sportfishing boats, and cruising yachts equipped with Flojet 1720, 1740, 46200, or 46400 pump assemblies should stock this replacement as part of routine maintenance. Installation is straightforward—simply remove the old cover, inspect the strainer basket for damage, and snap the new cover into place. Whether you are a seasoned boater or a weekend angler, this replacement part is crucial for maintaining optimal performance on the water.
