[C320-list] Shurflo twist on strainer

[Jeff Hare]

If it is a crack in the plastic screw on bowl, maybe you could try some of the thin super glue to wick into and seal the crack, or epoxy over it.  To really fix it a dab of 5200 will ensure that when the rest of your boat has returned to dust, there'll be this one strainer bowl left that doesn't leak.  :)

BTW, if it's the stock water pump (and you use your water even a moderate amount), consider upgrading the pump to the Shurflo VSD variety.  Quiet, no water hammer which is nice at night and easy on the pipes.  And the strainer is a lot better quality.

Discovered a crack in the freshwater strainer. Marked shurflo 170. But the shurflo website lists 4 variations of the 170 model. Guidance?  Don't see it on West Marine either. 

Thanks
