i want to install a 1" bronze strainer-type thru-hull intake to scoop up water thru a hose while underway. i'm wondering what kind of water pressure i can expect. any ideas?

Re: bronze intake strainer

It all depends on the size of the hose and how fast your craft is going. If you want to supply fresh water to live wells while underway, it will probably work just fine at speeds as low as 5mph. If you want to run a fire hose, you better be hauling butt!!!
