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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Groco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e SC-1500-L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shell Hull Strainer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bronze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody and Door Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bronze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThru Hull Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 1-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMount Ring Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Caster filter slots, pressure relief holes in door casing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 742985122666\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Groco SC-1500-L used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Groco SC-1500-L is a shell hull strainer that mounts over a boat's thru hull fitting to filter debris out of raw water before it enters the intake system, protecting pumps and cooling systems from weeds and marine growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat thru hull size does the SC-1500-L fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SC-1500-L is designed for thru hull fittings up to 1-1\/2 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Groco SC-1500-L made of bronze?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, both the body and the door of the SC-1500-L are constructed of bronze for corrosion resistance in marine environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the SC-1500-L come with a mount ring?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the Groco SC-1500-L does not include a mount ring, so one must be purchased separately if needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Groco SC-1500-L weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SC-1500-L weighs 1.2 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the door of the SC-1500-L strain out debris?\u003c\/strong\u003e The door casing has caster filter slots that catch weeds and debris, along with pressure relief holes to help equalize pressure when the door is removed or serviced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the SC-1500-L be cleaned or serviced?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the bronze door on the SC-1500-L can be removed for cleaning debris out of the strainer without disturbing the underlying thru hull or seacock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the UPC for the Groco SC-1500-L?\u003c\/strong\u003e The UPC for the Groco SC-1500-L Shell Hull Strainer is 742985122666.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is the SC-1500-L installed on a boat?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SC-1500-L mounts on the exterior of the hull, over the thru hull fitting, to filter raw water at the intake source before it reaches onboard systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Groco SC-1500-L a genuine Groco part?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the SC-1500-L is a genuine Groco Shell Hull Strainer, part number SC-1500-L.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Groco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49027994386651,"sku":"GRO-SC-1500-L","price":43.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/SC1500-L__98485.1739463013.500.750.jpg?v=1785164378","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/groco-sc-1500-l-bronze-shell-hull-strainer-for-up-to-1-1-2-inch-thru-hull","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
