I've never had any troubles with the cold water hitting the hot intercooler. I have only seen my intake air temps get to about 120 deg at idle, which isn't very hot. As soon as you start to get the boat up, it will start shoving water through. I have seen them getting water at 15 mph. It all depends on the depth of the pickup and the height of both the strainer and the intercooler itself.
I'm just like you in that I did not want to rob water from the engine. I run my engines ice cold and want as much water as I can get. Also, like I said before, they just don't need it at idle. With the efi engines, puddling could be a problem. Since I'm using high impedence injectors, I can only get 65lb injectors. I have to run 10 injectors to get enough fuel on the top end. It makes it very touchy to control at idle. I have never run water through the intercooler at idle, but I think it would cause a problem with puddling. I'm sure I could tune it out, but why bother. You may not have that problem with the carbs., but I would still force feed it.

lookin at Teagues plumbing diagram they have 2 dumps, 1 inlet,1 pressure we have 1 in and 1 out and will put the pressure valve on the strainer to help with the spikes

Also 12 years of force feeding my intercooler with no strainer and no pressure relief.No problems seems to me trash only happens around the dock when your idling so no trash or sand with force feed.Cant hurt to install a strainer and a relief but I always flush mine backwards after I flush the engines..
