[C320-list] Raw Water Strainer

[Dave Hupe]

 The previous comment about seeing stress cracks (internal) in the bowl was mine and I am replacing my assembly that I got from Amazon as a precaution only.  I have owned our 1994 boat since early 2017 and don't know why it is showing cracks ..... maybe due to previous tightening/loosening.

 Question:  Re this raw water inlet strainer, have there been any reports 
of actual failure of this Shurflo part? Obviously, a failure could 
result in flooding of the boat assuming the raw water thru-hull seacock 
was open.

Anyone have info in addition to the earlier comments about apparent 
stress cracks in the polycarbonate plastic bowl?

Thanks.
