Bruce: Cat’s Paw also has an external strainer, but made of bronze. We have never had trouble with it - either during many years in the Chesapeake Bay or for the last 15 years here in Massachusetts in Buzzards Bay. We haul every year, and I scrape off any barnacles etc at that time, often unscrewing the strainer from the hull to clean out between it and the cooling intake fitting.
