      John,

      Yes, that looks pretty much like the strainer plate I put on. I have no idea of it’s rated water flow compared to a 1″ thru-hull, but it all seems to work fine on my boat. Plenty of water flowing through the engine.

      Hey that would cut down on eels that jump out of the strainer when you open it up. I might have to get one.

      All this discussion of strainers reminded me I had not cleared my strainer basket since the Bahamas (it was always clean in the Bahamas).  I was reminded of that task, but I still did nothing.  During last night the A/C and the frig shut down because of low water flow, so this morning I opened the strainer – not without some trepidation I might add, give Linus' experience.  His boat is about 20 miles from my berth.  I partially opened the cover on the strainer and listened for anything splashing around in there.  When I removed the cover I could see that no eels could get into that mess.
      I guess this task will go back on the monthly to do list.
