GROCO BP-3 Poly Basket - 2.6" x 7.3"

The GROCO BP-3 Poly Basket is a replacement strainer basket designed specifically for raw water intake systems on boats and marine vessels. It is essential for skippers to keep debris out of their raw water cooling circuits to prevent engine overheating and damage. This basket is a critical component in maintaining engine performance and reliability.

Constructed from durable polypropylene, the BP-3 basket is resistant to corrosion and salt-water degradation, outperforming traditional metal alternatives. Its perforated design, measuring 2.6" × 7.3", maximizes flow area while ensuring fine filtration, which is vital for maintaining engine cooling efficiency. The lightweight construction, at just 0.2 lbs, allows for easy replacement and maintenance.

Ideal for coastal operators, liveaboards, and serious cruisers, the BP-3 is particularly beneficial in tropical and shallow-water environments where basket fouling can occur rapidly. Installation is straightforward, making it easy to swap out your existing basket with minimal effort. Keeping a spare BP-3 on hand ensures that you are always prepared for optimal engine cooling performance.
