🛥️ Seaflo Raw Water Marine Intake Cooling Water Strainer: Ideal for Boat - 1/2, 5/8 & 3/4 Hose Sizes Review

After 20 minutes of use, the lid broke around the perimeter and leaked badly. Can return to dock at idle with bilge pump running.

Arrived on time. I was looking for a high capacity strainer for air conditioning on board boats. I think that's the answer, a durable filter housing. Make sure you cut the barb to fit the hose you are using.

Other reviewers have complained that the vertical tube is too tall. The one I received didn't have a riser tube that allowed the water to drain completely when the lid was opened. I would have preferred to leave the water in the bowl to ensure the pump is primed, but it seems fine even without priming. A bonus - it glows with bioluminescence at night. 🙃 Make sure you place it above the waterline!

Great mains filter cheaper than Vetus. I'm impressed with the quality. Seaflo continues to improve its game. I use it for raw water intake on Yanmar 3gm30f. The only recommendation is that the Seaflo should cut the inlet pipe in the basket. The top of the riser is very close to the cap and looked like it slowed the flow of water when my engine was running. I trimmed a bit with a dremmel to improve the flow (see photo). Otherwise buy.
