The one's that swirl can separate more sand but if you plow into sandy muck, you're stuck anyway. The taller the strainer and the larger the hose diameter, the more efficient they'll be at removing debris.

Great insight Chris, thanks.
As a matter of fact, the one from Hardin Marine is one that I was considering, & it is one that swirls.

They are great as long as they don't have wing nuts:(if they do keep extra ones on the boat:cool-smiley-026:

latham, whole lid screws off easily, screen lifts out no fuss no muss. Got stuck at kent island once, all the lines were packed..what a pita.

I have Stainless Marine Super Strainers. They are huge, to hold water in reserve while airborne and have pressure relief valves to eliminate pressure spikes from re-entry. Extremely well built, I can stand on them. Kind of pricey, about $900 each I think.

Livorsi has a great new strainer and it is on special this month. Cant post the price, but it is very good. See the SS Strainer:
