Forespar MF 867 Scoop Strainer

FORESPAR MF 867 High-Speed Scoop Strainer

Ensure the reliability and longevity of your vessel´s most critical systems with the FORESPAR MF 867 Scoop Strainer. Engineered for discerning boat owners who demand superior performance and uncompromising durability, this essential component provides the ultimate protection for your raw water intake lines. It is the first line of defense for your engine, generator, air conditioning, and other water-cooled equipment, guaranteeing a consistent and clean flow of water, even at high speeds.

High-strength high speed made of glass-reinforced non-corrosive Marelon.

Two piece construction allows for greater ease in installation.

The innovative scoop design is hydrodynamically optimized to positively force water into your intake system while the vessel is underway, preventing pump starvation and ensuring your machinery receives the cooling it needs to operate efficiently. Simultaneously, the integrated strainer grate acts as a robust barrier, blocking damaging debris like seaweed, plastic, and marine life from entering and clogging your plumbing. This dual-action performance provides peace of mind, knowing your systems are protected from both debris and inadequate water flow.

Crafted from Forespar´s proprietary Marelon® polymer, the MF 867 sets a new standard for marine hardware. This advanced, glass-reinforced material is completely impervious to corrosion and electrolysis, eliminating the common issues associated with traditional bronze fittings. It offers exceptional strength and impact resistance, capable of withstanding the harsh marine environment for years without degradation, all while being significantly lighter than its metal counterparts. The two-piece design revolutionizes the installation process, allowing the thru-hull fitting to be secured first, followed by the external scoop, which simplifies alignment and ensures a perfect, watertight seal without the hassle of timing threads.

The integrated grate on the FORESPAR MF 867 acts as a primary line of defense, effectively filtering out common marine debris such as seaweed, seagrass, plastic fragments, and other floating particles. This crucial function prevents the clogging of raw water intake lines, protecting sensitive and essential equipment like engine heat exchangers, air conditioning pumps, and generator cooling systems from blockages that can lead to overheating, reduced performance, and costly damage. By keeping your water lines clear, the MF 867 ensures your onboard systems run smoothly and reliably.
