Groco ARG-S Series Cast Bronze Raw Water Strainer with Stainless Steel Basket - Available in 1" and 1-1/2"

The Groco ARG-S Series raw water strainer protects your boat's engine and raw-water-cooled accessories from sand, weeds, shells, and other debris pulled in through the through-hull intake. Each unit is built from a cast bronze body paired with a removable 304 stainless steel mesh basket, a combination chosen specifically to withstand constant saltwater and freshwater exposure without corroding. Mount it in the raw water line ahead of your engine's cooling system, generator, air conditioning pump, or washdown pump, and pull the basket for a quick rinse during routine maintenance instead of tearing into the plumbing. The ARG-S line is sized to match common intake line diameters, so pick the strainer that corresponds to your existing thru-hull and seacock plumbing.

Sizes & Options

This line is available in 1 inch (ARG-1000-S) and 1-1/2 inch (ARG-1500-S) intake connection sizes. Match the strainer size to the inside diameter of your existing raw water intake hose or thru-hull fitting - do not size up or down without also changing the connecting plumbing and hose barbs/fittings, as a mismatched strainer restricts flow and stresses hose connections. If you are unsure of your current line size, measure the ID of the hose at the seacock or check your engine's raw water intake specification before ordering.
