Designed and made in New Zealand, the Scoop Strainer is designed to divert large objects away from water intakes while the vessel is moving. This helps eliminate problems with seaweed/seagrass, sticks, or rubbish being sucked into engine intakes and blocking or clogging intake filters. The strainer acts as a course first stage filter that is cleaned by water movement. The Round Strainer is designed for use in stationary applications where there is a risk of sucking in unwanted objects. Tru-Design Intake Strainers eliminate the corrosion and electrical bonding problems associated with metallic fittings. They can be painted over with anti-foul and can be faired into the hull without concerns of corrosion.
The reviewer expressed satisfaction with the TruDesign through hull fittings, valves adapters they installed on their Scoop Strainer 1.25" black, stating that the product worked effectively and smoothly.
