In response to questions about why I dislike the present strainers in my boat:
They are bulky - occupy a lot of space.
They are extremely heavy - although, since my boat is heavy and slow, this is normally not a problem.
The plexiglass tubes are somewhat frosted.
They need new gaskets which I will have to have custom cut from sheet rubber.
I really don´t need the duplex changeover feature.
I have to re-locate the strainers anyhow to give myself more battery space.
They are old and grungy looking. A previous owner has covered them with a type of preserving vaseline that looks like ghostbuster slime.
To clean the strainer requires dumping the water and removing the plexiglass tube - you cannot just lift the basket out.
Yes, they are bronze and will last another 100 years (they look like they belong on the Nautilus with Capt. Nemo).
