Sea water strainer lids...91 Fairline Sedan

[Nauti Fox]

Does anyone know where the lids can be sourced, I've asked on the motor boat forum, alas with no luck.
It's looking like I'll have to get some made and find appropriate gaskets to fit....unless anyone knows differently.....



(Diameter of the lids are 160mm)

It looks like the Vetus type https://www.asap-supplies.com/brand...s/vetus-raw-water-intake-strainer-1900-401829

I don't think so, although I don't know what they are.

No, they have cast metal bodies, nothing stamped on them either.
I tried emailing Fairline a few times but nothing came back.

Same as fitted to my Fairline.

I could cut some new ones on CNC if you’re stuck as I need to get around to making a few spares for mine.

That would be much appreciated, let me know what you need, and if you could pm me your details I can pay by BACS.
Any chance you could cut four so I have a couple of spares.

Thanks, Al

Could you measure the total diameter so we know we have the same ones?

I’ll speak with my old contact at Fairline just to see if he has any info on them!

Diameter is approx 160mm but I can check that with verniers at the weekend, is it worth checking the hole pcd as well?

Try phoning them. The personal approach is usually more successful.
