I have a 43′ Riv with 450 Diamond’s. I’m pulling the boat next week in Ventura to replace the thru-hulls and the strainers in the boat. My mechanic, yard and the guy who works on the boat suggested the rectangular hull strainer over the scoop and getting rid of the typical basket strainers in the boat all together. Still have the original strainers (1999) and they’re metric and to access the basket on the port side you have to take apart part of the exhaust to get to it.
So essentially I would only have the raw water hose to the valve, no basket. I’m told almost nothing can get through these type of hull strainers but just a little nervous I wont be able to “see” what going on in there.
Anyone have thoughts on this set up or have one now? Thanks.
