Johnson Pump Universal Strainer - 40 Mesh Screen

The Johnson Pump Universal Strainer with 40 Mesh Screen is a vital intake protection component designed for vessels that rely on raw water cooling or fuel systems. It is particularly useful for boaters engaged in offshore tournaments, coastal cruising, or maintaining boats in challenging conditions. This strainer effectively prevents debris, salt crystals, and sediment from entering critical engine cooling passages.

The 40 mesh screen design strikes a balance between flow capacity and filtration efficiency, capturing particles typically around 420 microns while ensuring adequate water velocity through the system. Johnson Pump's universal strainer body is engineered for easy installation on standard thru-hull fittings and intake lines, featuring a durable housing that can withstand corrosive saltwater environments. The mesh screen is user-accessible for cleaning, making maintenance straightforward, especially in silty or weed-choked waters.

This strainer is compatible with various engine cooling systems, including inboard engines and outboards with raw water cooling circuits. Installation requires basic hand tools and can be completed in minutes, ensuring that boaters can quickly secure their intake lines below the waterline. With its reliable performance, the Johnson Pump Universal Strainer is an essential accessory for both recreational and commercial boating applications.
