I’ve considered installing a tee in the line. Recently I came across an adaptor (Sea Flush) that fits in the top of most any raw water strainer but it didn’t look like there was enough vertical clearance. There is an adaptor for a Groco strainer but my C&C 37+ with a Yanmar 3HM35F appears to have a Perko 0493 Size 5 strainer. I contacted Perko who indicated that I could convert my 0493 strainer to a 0593 model which has a flush valve and hose connection on the top. Unfortunately, it looks like I’d need about $250 worth of parts to make this work. I’ve heard that a second cap for the strainer could be modified by installing a hose fitting. The cap costs about $35. I’m curious what other listers have done and if I’m right on the strainer model #.
