Marine Water Strainers Catalog
A reliable marine water strainer is one of the most important components in any vessel’s cooling system. Without it, debris, seaweed, or foreign particles could flow directly into your raw water pump and engine cooling passages, leading to blockages, overheating, or catastrophic failure. At Diesel Pro Power, we supply high-quality intake water strainers designed for long-term reliability in demanding marine environments.
Each strainer in our catalog is built with durable construction, user-friendly serviceability, and precise sizing to match your vessel’s requirements. Whether you’re operating a small fishing boat, a commercial tug, or a large yacht, these strainers protect your engine cooling system and extend the lifespan of pumps, heat exchangers, and other cooling components.
With over 40,000 satisfied customers worldwide , Diesel Pro Power has become the trusted source for marine cooling parts . Below, you’ll find detailed information on each of our marine intake strainers, along with technical guidance and insights on how to choose the right one for your vessel.
Why Marine Water Strainers Matter
-
Engine Protection : Prevents rocks, weeds, sand, and marine growth from entering raw water cooling circuits.
-
Reduced Maintenance : Protects raw water pumps and impellers from premature wear.
-
Improved Efficiency : Maintains consistent water flow to intercoolers, heat exchangers, and oil coolers.
-
Easy Cleaning : Removable baskets and see-through designs make inspection and maintenance simple.
-
Long-Term Value : Extends the lifespan of your cooling system and reduces downtime.
Intake Water Strainer – 1" Pipe Size
Dimensions: 9 ½" height, 5 ½" width
This compact 1-inch marine water strainer is ideal for smaller marine engines, auxiliary power units, and generators that require steady water flow with minimal obstruction. Its streamlined design fits neatly into tight engine compartments without sacrificing accessibility for maintenance.
-
Applications : Best suited for small pleasure craft, fishing boats, and light-duty marine generators.
-
Ease of Use : The top-mounted cap allows quick removal for basket cleaning.
-
Durability : Engineered to resist corrosion and withstand prolonged exposure to seawater.
Choosing this size ensures that your cooling system is properly safeguarded without oversizing, which could add unnecessary bulk to your installation.
Intake Water Strainer – 1 ½" Pipe Size
Dimensions: 11 ½" height, 7 ¼" width
Designed for slightly larger engines and systems requiring higher water flow, the 1.5-inch strainer strikes the balance between compact design and increased capacity.
-
Flow Capacity : Handles greater raw water intake without creating pressure drops.
-
Maintenance Advantage : Larger strainer basket reduces the frequency of cleanings.
-
Practical Applications : Commonly used on mid-sized yachts, sailboats, and industrial marine pumps.
For operators looking to reduce time between strainer cleanings while ensuring robust engine protection, this size is an excellent upgrade from the smaller 1-inch model.
Intake Water Strainer – 2" Pipe Size
Dimensions: 16" height, 7 ½" width
When moving into larger vessels or higher-horsepower marine engines, the 2-inch water strainer becomes essential. With its taller basket and wider housing, this unit is capable of managing significant raw water flow rates required by commercial boats or multi-engine configurations.
-
Robust Design : Withstands heavy-duty use in challenging marine conditions.
-
Enhanced Protection : Keeps debris out of large-volume water pumps and intercoolers.
-
Common Uses : Tugboats, passenger ferries, commercial fishing vessels, and high-output marine diesel engines.
For vessels running around-the-clock or in debris-heavy waters, this strainer is built to last while ensuring optimal performance.
Intake Water Strainer – 2 ½" Pipe Size
Dimensions: 16" height, 7 ½" width
The 2.5-inch marine water strainer is designed for heavy-duty vessels requiring very high water flow capacity. This model provides superior protection for engines running under extreme loads in warm or debris-laden waters.
-
Maximum Flow : Ensures unrestricted water circulation even at high RPMs.
-
Commercial Strength : Perfect for workboats, offshore supply vessels, and large yachts.
-
Maintenance Made Simple : Despite its size, it still allows quick access to the strainer basket for routine cleaning.
When your operation depends on uninterrupted performance, this strainer is the safeguard your cooling system requires.
How to Select the Right Marine Water Strainer
When choosing a strainer, consider the following:
-
Engine Size & Cooling Demand – Larger engines need larger pipe diameters to avoid water starvation.
-
Operating Environment – Boats operating in shallow or debris-filled waters should opt for larger-capacity strainers to reduce cleaning frequency.
-
Space Constraints – Engine room layouts may limit the maximum strainer size you can install.
-
Ease of Maintenance – Select a model that allows for quick and tool-free access to the basket.
-
Material Quality – Corrosion resistance is crucial. Marine-grade construction ensures longevity.
Maintenance Tips for Marine Water Strainers
-
Inspect and clean the basket before every trip , especially if boating in weedy or shallow areas.
-
Check for cracks or leaks around the housing and lid.
-
Replace worn gaskets and seals to maintain airtight suction.
-
Keep spare baskets on hand for emergencies.
-
Flush the strainer with fresh water after prolonged saltwater use to reduce corrosion.
