Wish I had strainers in my '93 bravo/top gun last summer while running in a poker run on seneca lake (new york). Took in sea weed in stbd. motor oil cooler, just enough to notice "slight" reduction in water pressure, rise in water/oil temps. End result was 2 blown head gaskets from steam pockets forming in top corners of heads at #2 and #7 cylinders. strainers are going in now. Cig. owners manual says bravo equip set-ups don't require strainers ! I am amazed at what I have seen in strainers in other friends boats.

Strip, how do you like the clamps on GIL strainers? I'm thinking about getting one.
