Forespar MF 868 Scoop Strainer

FORESPAR MF 868 Marelon Scoop Strainer - High-Speed Raw Water Intake

Ensure the heart of your vessel—the engine, generator, and air conditioning systems—receives a constant, clean flow of raw water with the FORESPAR MF 868 Scoop Strainer. This essential component is engineered to provide superior protection and performance, safeguarding your critical equipment from damaging debris while optimizing water intake, especially when your boat is underway. It is the ultimate upgrade from traditional metal fittings, offering unparalleled durability and reliability for any boater.

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

Two piece construction allows for greater ease in installation.

The innovative design of the MF 868 scoop strainer serves two critical functions. First, its hydrodynamic scoop shape is specifically contoured to efficiently force water into your intake lines as the boat moves forward, ensuring your systems never starve for coolant, even at planing speeds. This positive flow helps engines and generators run cooler and more efficiently. Second, the integrated strainer grid acts as the first line of defense, blocking seaweed, plastic, jellyfish, and other flotsam from entering and clogging your raw water pumps, heat exchangers, and cooling channels.

Constructed from Forespar´s proprietary Marelon®, this scoop strainer eliminates the persistent problems of corrosion, electrolysis, and dezincification that plague bronze and other metallic strainers. This advanced, glass-reinforced polymer is incredibly strong, completely inert in a marine environment, and will not create galvanic corrosion issues with other underwater metals. This means a longer service life, reduced maintenance, and greater peace of mind on the water. The clever two-piece design dramatically simplifies the often-tricky process of thru-hull installations, allowing for a secure and leak-free fit with less effort.
