Groco SC-1500-L Bronze Shell Hull Strainer for Up to 1-1/2 Inch Thru Hull

The Groco SC-1500-L is a bronze shell hull strainer designed to protect a boat's raw water intake system from debris before it reaches the pump. Mounted on the outside of the hull over the thru hull fitting, it filters incoming water at the source, reducing the load on any inline strainer and helping prevent clogs in engine cooling, air conditioning, or washdown systems.

The strainer body and door are both constructed of bronze for corrosion resistance in saltwater and freshwater marine environments. The door features caster filter slots that strain out weeds, debris, and marine growth, along with pressure relief holes built into the door casing to help equalize pressure during removal or servicing. The SC-1500-L is sized for thru hull fittings up to 1-1/2 inches and is sold without a mount ring, so buyers who need one should plan to purchase it separately.

This shell strainer is a straightforward, serviceable component: the bronze door can be removed for cleaning without disturbing the seacock or hull fitting itself, making routine maintenance simple for boat owners who service their own raw water systems.
