Perko 304 Stainless Steel Strainer Basket Only Size 9 f/2" Strainer

The Perko 304 Stainless Steel Strainer Basket Only Size 9 for 2" Strainer is an essential replacement component for any boat owner or marine engine operator who demands reliable raw water intake protection. After decades on the water, any experienced angler or boater knows that debris—sand, shells, seaweed, and sediment—can wreak havoc on cooling systems and through-hull fittings.

This strainer basket replacement keeps your engine's raw water circuit clean and operational, preventing costly damage to impellers and heat exchangers that can leave you stranded far from port. Constructed from marine-grade 304 stainless steel, this strainer basket resists corrosion from saltwater, brackish environments, and extended freshwater use. The Size 9 specification fits standard 2-inch strainer housings commonly found on inboard engines, outboards, and auxiliary cooling systems across a wide range of vessels.

This replacement basket is ideal for routine maintenance and emergency repairs on cruising vessels, commercial fishing boats, and recreational watercraft where system downtime is unacceptable. Installation is straightforward—simply remove the strainer bowl, extract the old basket, and drop in this new one. The basket's open-mesh design maximizes water flow while capturing particles that exceed the strainer's threshold rating, keeping sediment from reaching your engine.
