GROCO BS-9 Stainless Steel Basket - 3.1" x 11.3"

The GROCO BS-9 Stainless Steel Basket is a heavy-duty strainer and debris trap designed for serious marine applications, providing reliable protection for water intake systems. Ideal for cabin cruisers, sportfish boats, and vessels with raw water cooling or through-hull systems, this basket prevents sediment, kelp, and other fouling materials from clogging engine cooling passages.

Constructed from marine-grade stainless steel, the BS-9 is resistant to corrosion and salt spray, ensuring durability in harsh saltwater and brackish environments. Its dimensions of 3.1" by 11.3" provide ample surface area for debris collection while fitting standard through-hull strainer housings. The robust cage design effectively traps larger particles while allowing clean water to flow through, maintaining necessary pressure and flow rates.

This basket is compatible with both inboard and outboard cooling systems, as well as galley and head through-hull applications where intake protection is essential. Installation is straightforward—simply drop it into your existing seawater strainer housing, making periodic cleaning quick and easy. Investing in a quality intake strainer like the BS-9 can save boaters from costly engine damage and keep them on the water longer.
