Groco makes some heavier duty models -- but it really is an issue ow where you're going to install them and how. Also what type of thru-hull you have.

The top (when opened) should be just below the water line - in my opinion.

External strainer vs basket strainer
- How will you 'clear' an external strainer when underway?
  - There's nothing to clear, Rich
- Multiple issues, seems to me.
  - Other issues
    - Isn't a standard strainer engineered for that, Rich?
      - All friction due to viscosity vs. orfice area
- Keep both
  - I too have both, and frequently go through kelp...
- I have both...
- We have two of these - one engine & one generator
  - By inspection
- My strainer never seems to clog, until I head south Max.
- OK, you guys win
