Hey guys....this has probably been replaced by something newer, but does anyone know where I can find one of these strainers. It's threaded on both ends, which is really what's important to me so I don't have to change any additional plumbing.

I replaced the same strainer this past spring without having to change any plumbing. I will take a picture and post with details tonight

UPDATE:

I ordered with some other parts from Winnisquam Marine last winter. Shurflo makes the strainer and is readily available online.

My old strainer was similar but broken. I replaced with a newer one (can't remember the brand, Shurflo?) at West Marine. The new one has threaded fittings but the filter is removable without taking the water lines apart. Sort of like a sea strainer. Might require a bit more plumbing but way more functional if you need to clean it.

Update: The new one I bought is very similar to the one Special K bought. Mine just had female threads on both ends.

Can't you just buy some screen at the hardware store and cut to size. :?:

I've never seen that strainer in my boat, so I'm curious - what's it for? Is that from the hose connection or maybe the before the pump on the fresh water tank?

It's in between the fresh water tank and fresh water pump.the first place to look if you have low water pressure.
