Intake Scoop Strainer
A thru-hull water intake scoop and strainer pro-
vides seawater to the raw water manifold. This
strainer is located on the hull bottom and must be
kept free of mud, weeds and other debris.
The strainer should be visually inspected each
time the boat is hauled for accumulation of ma-
rine growth, weeds and other foreign objects. If
clogged or dirty, the strainer should be cleaned.
