Anything that would filter out sand will plug easily. That's the problem with the fine-screen blower intercooler strainers. Strainers work in two ways- one is screen filtration, the other is reducing water velocity allowing debris to fall from the water column. 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.
As a matter of fact, the one from Hardin Marine is one that I was considering, & it is one that swirls.
if they do keep extra ones on the boat

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.
