We pulled the basket out of the strainer and the mesh part of the basket had corroded and the plastic bottom piece fell off. Turns out a new basket for the strainer would be $100 and have to get shipped from the US east coast. Or we could buy a brand new raw water strainer for $140. We did the latter. The current strainer still works OK until we get somewhere where I feel OK replacing it but it's not super trustworthy. I always have one eye on the engine temp gauge (because we're always motoring).Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04253485240286762249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7863928738475699337.post-61744574733225453472009-05-31T12:44:15.635-07:002009-05-31T12:44:15.635-07:00How did you end up finding out that your raw water...How did you end up finding out that your raw water strainer shit the bed?
