GROCO Bronze Slotted Hull Scoop Strainer w/Access Door f/Up to 1-1/4" Thru Hull

The GROCO Bronze Slotted Hull Scoop Strainer with Access Door for up to 1-1/4" thru hull fittings is an essential through-hull strainer designed to protect raw water intake systems on fishing vessels and cruising boats. After years on the water, any experienced angler knows that clogged intake systems—caused by debris, kelp, sand, or marine growth—can shut down engine cooling or live well circulation at the worst possible moment.

This bronze strainer acts as your first line of defense, capturing large particles before they enter your raw water lines and damage pumps or impellers. GROCO's bronze construction resists corrosion in saltwater environments far better than steel, making it the material of choice for serious mariners operating in coastal or offshore waters. The slotted design allows maximum water flow while the access door enables quick cleaning without breaking through-hull connections—a feature that saves hours of frustration when you're anchored or docked.

This strainer accommodates up to 1-1/4" thru hull fittings, a standard size for mid-size fishing boats and cruisers, and its compact dimensions (4 x 2 x 7 inches) fit cleanly into engine compartments without consuming excessive space. This strainer benefits captains running systems that demand consistent seawater flow—engine raw water cooling, live well circulation, washdown systems, and deck washers all depend on unobstructed intake. Installation is straightforward on boats with existing 1-1/4" thru hull penetration.
