Shurflo by Pentair 1-1/4" Raw Water Strainer - 20 Mesh Screen

The Shurflo by Pentair 1-1/4" Raw Water Strainer with 20 Mesh Screen is an essential component for any serious boat owner running a seawater cooling system, washdown, or live well pump. This strainer is designed to protect your engine from debris, kelp, and sand that can cause significant damage if left unfiltered.

Featuring a 20 mesh screen, this strainer effectively catches sand and sediment while maintaining adequate flow rates. Its inline installation between the through-hull fitting and the pump ensures that it acts as a critical line of defense against saltwater contamination. The transparent bowl allows for easy visual inspection of accumulated debris, and the base can be unscrewed for quick, tool-free cleaning or replacement.

Ideal for vessels ranging from 25 to 60+ feet, this strainer is compatible with various raw water systems, including engine cooling, deck wash, livewell circulation, and air conditioning seawater loops. Installation is straightforward, requiring only basic hose barbs and stainless steel hose clamps, making it accessible for boat owners without specialized plumbing skills.
