Slotted hull strainer ?'s

[stugiv]

Thanks for the response. All the one piece models I've seen appear to be much smaller. Groco allows for the installation of a mounting ring so the ring gets attached to the hull & then the strainer gets attached to the ring. That's the only way I can see taking off the strainer. I was hoping somebody else had already tried it & might know if there's a mounting ring. There's such a buildup of bottom paint around the strainer on my boat its hard to tell.

The boat is still in the water & scraping the outside didn't help (unfortunately). I don't think I'll get a chance to do it more thoroughly until I pull it out for the winter sometime this month.
