GROCO 1" Fresh Water Strainer w/#304 SS Basket

The GROCO 1" Fresh Water Strainer with #304 Stainless Steel Basket is an essential intake protection component for vessels relying on raw water cooling systems. It is particularly useful for cruising sailboats, cabin cruisers, and auxiliary engines on larger displacement hulls, where debris ingestion can threaten the longevity of cooling systems.

This strainer is designed to sit between the through-hull fitting and engine block, effectively catching contaminants like sand, silt, and organic matter before they reach critical components. Constructed with a #304 stainless steel basket, it offers corrosion resistance in both fresh and brackish water environments. The perforated basket design maximizes flow area while allowing for easy cleaning and maintenance.

Ideal for anglers and offshore boaters, this strainer helps ensure that your cooling system operates efficiently, even in environments with suspended solids. Its compact dimensions of 5 x 4 x 8 inches make it suitable for installation in tight engine compartments, providing reliable filtration without taking up excessive space.
