He told me that he was on his first or second boat and the strainer filled up with very fine grass and it overheated the engine whereas the other engine was missing the strainer element and the pump sucked but also pumped the grass thru' and that engine did not have a problem.
He also told me why none of his boats he built ever come with large 8D batteries but that is another story.....
PS. I am not about to argue with him due to his success but I would install both the external strainers and the internal strainers and definately sea chests if space allowed
