GROCO BS-11 Stainless Steel Basket - 3.1" x 15.4"

The GROCO BS-11 Stainless Steel Basket is a marine-grade strainer designed for raw water intake systems on boats and larger recreational vessels. Experienced boaters understand the importance of reliable filtration to prevent debris, kelp, and sediment from clogging engine passages. This replacement basket serves as the first line of defense in your through-hull intake, ensuring that foreign material does not reach your engine cooling circuit.

Constructed from marine-grade stainless steel, the BS-11 resists corrosion and salt-water degradation far better than standard steel alternatives. The basket's fine mesh captures particles that could compromise your cooling system, while its lightweight design at 0.55 pounds makes removal and cleaning straightforward, even in rough seas or tight engine compartments. This construction ensures no rust staining, no pitting from salt intrusion, and no loss of flow capacity over multiple seasons.

This basket is ideal for boat owners who frequently navigate coastal waters, rivers thick with seasonal debris, or sandy anchorages. Maintaining a clean strainer basket is essential for engine longevity, making the GROCO BS-11 a critical component for effective thermal management in your vessel's cooling system. Its compatibility with GROCO's established through-hull strainer housings ensures a seamless fit for your boating needs.
