I sucked up a jelly fish in my air conditioning the other day.  It was a mess and not fun to clean but from inside the boat it was a lot dryer and faster then diving below.  The strainer on the A/C is a fine mess and no where near the same open (1/4" holes) design as the engine strainer.  The a/c water pump was still pushing out a trickle.

Pete,

 

I’ve been on the Chesapeake for 20 years too and have never had a problem.  I have a large strainer inside, but only find a bit of grass in it now and then.  I empty it every 3 or 4 years, but it has never been an issue.

Here on the Chesapeake, sea nettles abound for most of the summer, and they are a constant threat to my engine water intake.  This is particularly true when I am getting ready to leave the dock. 
 
On my 30MKII, the engine intake is completely "naked", i.e., no protection against drawing in a sea nettle, or any kind of debris.  There's simply a small orifice directly into the marelon seacock.  It's not unusual to find debris in the onboard strainer. 
 
I am considering installing a bronze strainer to mitigate the risk.  I would appreciate any feedback on what, if anything, others have done to address this problem. 
 
Thanks,
 
Pete W.
