Anyone install a sea strainer in a 26ZX or similar set-up type boat? What type? Did you plumb with 1 1/4 slip on connections? What about a shut-off valve prior to strainer? Where did you mount strainer?

THANKS! Tim

I installeda GIL sea strainer from Gaffrig marine in front of the water pump just in front of the engine. Yes, I did put a brass cut-off vavle on it and I also put a brass tee after the GIL so that I can flush the boat from inside the boat. a hose runs up the firewall with a brass plug It's a neat set-up. I recommend it. the engine get about four times as much water than from the outdrive pick-up. You will need to remove the hose on that outdrive and plug the intake hose from the outdrive to the engine. Good luck. Let me know if I can help. Richard Aaron 727-867-7020, in St. Pete, Florida.
