Back when I owned a 1980 C&C 36 a golf tee stopped raw water flow at the elbow just before the strainer. After checking all the usual choke points the golf tee was found by pulling the supply hose. When it shot out (followed closely by lotsa seawater) I stated "well there's your problem". F'n golfers.

On a summer race series down the lake the engine overheated (thank my lucky stars for my AquaAlarm) I immediately shut the engine down, didn't see too much in my large Groco Strainer and just did the day's race. Later tried the engine, hardly any water coming out. Looked a little further inside, and saw large stringy weeds on the intake into the strainer. I pulled until there were no more, and life was good after that. I would hate to have to jump over and clean a strainer on the outside of the hull. Bill Coleman C&C 39 [animated_favicon1]
