[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 225787, member: 6937"] An inline water strainer is a good idea on any jet boat, but especially if they are being operated in muddy or sandy areas. I have one on my jetboat, it's a Shurflo inline water filter with 1/2" inlet and outlet. But I changed the strainer screen to a slightly more coarse pattern, the one it had was a very fine mesh, that would clog at nothing. The one I have now will trap pieces of shell, weeds, etc, but will allow small amounts of sand to pass through. Another thing I added to my jetboat was a water pressure guage, I plumbed it AFTER the water filter in the cooling loop, as putting it before the filter would not indicate if water flow to the engine has stopped due to a clogged filter. So, at a glance I can look at the guage and know whether or not I've got a clogged cooling system, I don't have to look back at my indicator stream fittings and take my eyes off the water in front of me.
