Ditto on SM. Lots of port options and easy to maintain.

Who just came out with the Sand Strainer last year? Latham I think? I know I saw an ad on it.

The only one that I know of that is fine enough to catch all the sand is the Hardin sand strainer, but it is made for intercoolers. Any sea strainer that has a screen fine enough to catch sand won't flow enough water to supply the engine. I don't think any of them will truly catch sand and stop it from going in the engine.
