Great examples of poorly maintained external strainers. They obviously were not serviced (removed, cleaned, painted, reassembled) when the bottoms were painted. Not a reason not to have one. When you suck up a plastic bag or a wad of seaweed that does not make it to your internal sea strainer, you will understand. I took my external strainer off and regretted it. They DO need maintenance. This is about the only think I disagree with in the advice on this website. Had an external strainer for 20 years with no problem. Went without, and had problems with sea grass and weeds. In a perfect world you would not need one. The world is not perfect.

precisely why I removed mine and just have a regular seacock.
