Bob, I dont know how course the strain3er is but I'[d think you'd see
evidence of the sea weed stuck in the hose or the screen. Then again,

saw bits and pieces of seaweed in the bilge..but backflushedl the
strain so hope i got rid of it all...engiine seems to run OK so will
replace impeller

You need to pull the end cap on the heat exchanger. That will be where
little pieces of seaweed and Nemo will collect, cutting down on water flow.

good points...will check
