Yes, sea strainers do crack and can break. I had one crack (Perko) on my 1988 48' Californian CPMY about 9 months ago. I was lucky that my bilge pump was able to keep up with inflow of water. I replaced both (port and starboard) plastic cylinders, and rebuilt them with new gaskets. I now keep the sea cocks CLOSED at the dock. I also keep the keys next to the strainers, so I cannot start the engine without opening the sea cocks.

That’s why you close all the valves when you get off!

You beat me to it. This is a good lesson to learn if you dont already know it.

Can I assume that the strainer did not break on its own? Did a person do it accidentally, or maybe rough seas caused something to fall on it?

@CaptainRetriever 7 ай бұрын

Could have been a hairline crack in it from using a pipe wrench or kicked it, a defect, or just overtightened. Plastic also gets brittle over time.

Is that considered a salvage? Or is it just an assist?

@CaptainRetriever 7 ай бұрын

Anything that requires special equipment we consider a salvage. It’s outside the realm of normal towing.. although some of these are considered wreck removal.

They’ll need to drain all the oil and water out of the engines and fill them with diesel fuel, replace the alternators and probably have to swap all the batteries but it will probably run again. Will be chasing electrical gremlins for a while from corrosion.

They're both on track, engine & water is the easy part, the wiring is your main issue saltwater gets inside the wires, and causes corrosion you won't start seeing the issues for about 6 months..
