I'm not sure. I only know this from looking at the microfiche. I'm assuming it's a threaded port on the cooler.

I've never felt like I needed one. We boat on a lake with some vegetation and in the gulf with a lot of sand and never had any issues. I pulled the oil cooler off last winter and it may have had a couple or three little shells or big grains of sand in it, but nothing significant. We are pulling water through the Bravo and not a separate water pickup so that may have an effect.
There is just not much room in the engine bay for one. I don't know if they can be mounted above the static water line or not but I doubt it. It would be hard for the sea pump to prime that large a volume and would require it to run dry for a while.
