Mounting sea strainer
Hello all
This is on a formula 252
I am a little concern when mounting the sea strainer. The best place I found to mount it on the area where the battery is mounted to the floor. I am using the Teague sea strainer with the floor mount bracket. Is ok to screw straight down.
Also can if possible can you guys show me where you mounted yours so can get some ideas
In case you have not notice I'm a first time boat owner
Thanks

[ATTACH=CONFIG]521047[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]521046[/ATTACH]Here is where I mounted mine & how I plumbed them. They work great, have not had any issues pulling water up to them & they are easy to inspect and or clean. I now have the correct color tops so that will be changed this year, Lol. Randy

Is it better to plumb them before (under vaccuum) or ofter the sea pump (under pressure)?

Yes the area that I am looking to mount the strainer is on the floor where the battery is mounted not the hull floor.
Also, I was thinking of laying down some star board first the screwing the strainer to the starboard . I would secure the starboard to the floor with screws and silicone
Is this necessary?or over kill

as pstorti said. lids above waterline. MUST be above waterline. if below waterline and u hafta open them or one, water comes into boat. fast. but come to think of it, it is a real quick way to clean out the strainers...
