Groco BP-4 Poly Strainer Basket, 2.6 x 7.5 Inches

The Groco BP-4 is a polypropylene replacement basket sized 2.6 inches by 7.5 inches, built for use inside raw water strainer housings aboard boats. It is molded in durable black plastic and features an open-top, no-lid design that lets the basket slide in and out of the strainer bowl for quick cleaning and inspection. As the filtering element of a raw water strainer system, the basket catches debris, weeds, sand, and other particulate before it can reach the engine, air conditioning pump, generator, or other water-cooled equipment, protecting downstream components from clogging and damage.

The basket's perforated wall design allows water to pass through while trapping solids, and its rigid plastic construction resists corrosion and saltwater degradation better than metal mesh alternatives over time. A molded handle on top makes it easy to grip and lift the basket out of the strainer body for rinsing or replacement. This is a single basket, sold individually, intended as a direct replacement or spare for strainer housings that accept a basket of this size.
