I know this is not about where to mount them but if you are buying new. I love my Stainless Marine ones. After dealing with leaking top screw, aluminum top strainers that were a P.I.T.A., I upgraded to them. They weren't cheap but they flow like crazy, have huge collection baskets, and are super easy to open & reseal. Plumbed them with a pair of valves to easily close off when cleaning or flushing the motors.
Please disregard the dirty bilge as they were being test fitted in the picture! LOL

I used TEAGUE Marine in my 35 Fountain, they will weld the bungs on any location and I had two of the inlets changed to male pipe thread so the ball valve would mount directly without a fitting. I also added a fresh water flush..

So here is what I ended up with and think it's a good way to go. Thanks for your input everyone . It's been all winter rebuilding this thing and a ton of money. Just fixing the last of the wiring bugs and we ar good to go. I would also like to thank Tim St.clare and Billy Hamilton for all there great work in helping be get this done over the winter. That's my shout out to TOP REPAIR on Long Island . Has to be one of the best around . I can't tell you the things this guy has done for the locals here. Anyone from my area who is into preformance boating knows this guy. And if anyone has anything bad to say about him it's because the don't want to pay to do what needs to be done. Thanks Tim
