GROCO BS-24 Stainless Steel Basket f/SS-1250 & BVS-1250

The GROCO BS-24 Stainless Steel Basket is a purpose-built replacement strainer basket designed for GROCO's SS-1250 and BVS-1250 seawater intake systems. This product is essential for maintaining optimal water flow in marine environments, preventing engine overheating and potential damage due to clogged strainers. Whether you're a commercial or recreational boater, this basket is a vital component for anyone operating in saltwater conditions.

Constructed from high-quality 316 stainless steel, the BS-24 offers superior resistance to salt corrosion and pitting, making it ideal for long-term use in harsh marine environments. Its cylindrical design allows for effective debris capture, ensuring that grass and biological fouling do not reach your raw-water pump. The compact dimensions of 3 x 3 x 10 inches ensure a snug fit into the SS-1250 and BVS-1250 housings, although users should verify compatibility before installation.

Keeping a spare BS-24 on hand is a smart move for any boater who frequently operates in shallow bays or near seaweed beds. The lightweight design, weighing just 0.4 pounds, makes it easy to remove, rinse, and reinstall during routine maintenance. This replacement basket is crucial for avoiding downtime and costly repairs associated with engine damage from restricted water flow.
