Seawater strain basket SS or plastic?

[David H]

Got a brass groco strainer for the QSC8.3 and have always had a metal strainer basket in it. The handle is broken so about to order a replacement. It came up on trawler forum and seemed like several captains were leaning towards the plastic or polyethylene baskets. Any recommendations here from those who have looked into it?

The plastic Groco strainers are really cheesy–But they do not corrode. How long they last? Don’t know yet

We use a spot welder quite often to fix the handles on the metal baskets. Simple for us
