[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 237483, member: 6937"] Not a problem, glad to help out. I went through the whole trial and error period with my boat, learning what worked and what didn't, and what to do to improve certain things to make it as user-friendly as possible. "Engine saver" is a pretty good description of the water strainer. As most of these PWC engine blocks and cylinder heads are made of aluminum castings, you definitely don't want to overheat them, as it can lead to warpage and engine damage. And as I said, once the cooling passages of the engine get clogged with debris, it can be very difficult to clear them, especially if you're on the water. You just about need garden hose pressure to blow it out. The strainer will prevent this issue. Have you installed your water pressure gauge yet? Once you combine that along with the strainer, you will have a fail-safe system. [/QUOTE]
