GROCO ARG-1250 Series 1-1/4" Raw Water Strainer w/Non-Metallic Plastic Basket

The GROCO ARG-1250 Series 1-1/4" Raw Water Strainer with Non-Metallic Plastic Basket is an essential intake protection system for serious boaters and anglers who rely on dependable engine cooling. This strainer is specifically designed for marine applications, ensuring that raw water—whether seawater, freshwater, or brackish—remains free from debris that could clog engine cooling passages.

The strainer features a 1-1/4" connection that fits standard through-hull piping, providing ample flow for mid-range marine engines without pressure drop. Its non-metallic plastic basket is resistant to corrosion from saltwater and prevents galvanic action that can weaken metal components over time. The basket design maximizes surface area, allowing fine sediment to settle while ensuring that water flows freely to the engine.

Ideal for cruising vessels and commercial fishing platforms, this strainer is crucial for boats operating in high sediment environments. The durable construction withstands harsh marine conditions, and the removable basket allows for quick field cleaning, ensuring that your cooling system operates efficiently during extended runs.
