GROCO BS-13 Stainless Steel Basket - 3.1" x 13.8"

The GROCO BS-13 Stainless Steel Basket is a marine-grade through-hull strainer designed to protect your engine's raw-water cooling system from debris, seaweed, and sediment. This product is ideal for boat owners who operate in both saltwater and freshwater environments, ensuring that the engine remains free from clogging materials that can cause overheating or damage.

Constructed entirely from stainless steel, the GROCO BS-13 resists corrosion and degradation, making it suitable for harsh marine conditions. The basket features a perforated design that allows clean water to flow through while effectively blocking particles as small as sand and shell fragments. With a diameter of 3.1 inches and a depth of 13.8 inches, it provides ample surface area for trapping sediment without compromising flow rates.

Experienced boat owners will appreciate the importance of regular maintenance, inspecting and cleaning the basket every 25–50 operating hours, especially after navigating shallow or murky waters. Weighing just 0.5 lbs, the basket is lightweight and easy to access for servicing from the engine compartment, making it a practical choice for any boat owner.
