My intake is fine, just serviced it a few weeks ago. This spring
I replaced the engine water intake seacock and the external
strainer (Kingston cock I think it is called). When I removed
the strainer, a small dried up crab fell out. Must have been in
there since it was a little fella. Was too big to get in or out.

I had an oyster growing under an external strainer against the hull on my
boat when I purchased it. Didn't stop, but sure restricted intake flow.

That would have to be one mother of a barnacle Anyway, all
throughhulls were checked and serviced before we launched.
