GROCO BP-8 Poly Basket - 3.1 x 12.4"

The GROCO BP-8 Poly Basket is a replacement strainer component designed for serious boaters and cruisers who require dependable through-hull water intake protection. This essential maintenance item helps prevent debris such as kelp, grass, sand, and small shells from clogging your engine cooling system, which can lead to overheating and costly damage.

Constructed from durable marine-grade polyethylene, the GROCO BP-8 is resistant to corrosion and UV degradation in both saltwater and freshwater environments. Its open-weave mesh design allows water to flow freely while effectively trapping sediment and organic material, ensuring a steady flow rate to your cooling system. The basket's lightweight construction makes installation and cleaning quick and easy during routine maintenance.

Ideal for offshore and coastal anglers, this OEM-compatible basket fits the standard GROCO BP series housing, providing a large surface area that reduces clogging intervals. Keeping a spare on board is advisable for extended cruises or tournament runs, especially in murky tidal areas or near kelp beds where intakes are prone to clogging.
