    thruhull strainer

    So my marine a/c has a regular thru hull, which pulls enough venturi at about 12 kts to overpower the ppickup pump and cause the system to shut down. I bought a Groco SC1000 thruhull strainer to scoop water into the water pickup and hopefully allow a/c use at planning speeds. Side benefit...
