Then eel grass has filled more than once in the Cape Cod area. My engine started to overheat last fall coming home. From now on, I'm going to remember to clean in BEFORE I head home.

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
