Shurflo by Pentair 3/4" Raw Water Strainer w/Bracket & Fittings - 50 Mesh Screen

The Shurflo by Pentair 3/4" Raw Water Strainer with Bracket and Fittings is an essential intake protection system for any vessel relying on raw water cooling or washdown applications. If you've spent time on the water, you know that debris—sand, kelp, shells, and sediment—can clog cooling systems and damage expensive marine engines faster than you'd expect. This strainer sits between your through-hull fitting and engine cooling loop, catching contaminants before they reach your powerhead, transmission cooler, or auxiliary systems.

Built by Pentair's Shurflo division, this strainer features a 50-mesh screen that balances flow rate with filtration effectiveness—fine enough to trap particles that would plug your cooling galleries, yet open enough to maintain adequate pressure to your engine's cooling circuit. The 3/4" connection accepts standard marine hose fittings and includes a mounting bracket for secure installation in tight engine compartments. The transparent bowl housing allows visual inspection of debris accumulation without disassembly, letting you know when cleaning is overdue.

Stainless hardware and marine-grade materials ensure the strainer won't corrode in saltwater environments, and the compact footprint (6 x 4 x 7 inches, weighing just 0.7 pounds) fits easily in confined spaces where space is precious. This strainer is ideal for boaters who prioritize engine protection and reliability, making it a valuable addition to any marine setup.
