I was working on my NextGen generator, and while crawling upside down, noticed my engine sea strainer was leaking. After further investigation I found there is a crack running from the drain plastic bolt. I can't understand how a crack developed from just hanging there. Possibly someone overtighening a nylon/ plastic drain bolt?? I have no idea how a 5-6 year old piece of plastic, with no stress, cracks!! Oh well, it is what it is.
Does anyone know where I can get a replacement plastic bowl for a 1.5" Marine Hardware sea strainer?
Does Fluid Motions have access to this part?
Thank you in advance for any and all help with this!

SEASBOWL-125/150 - part number for the bowl. It can be purchased from Marine hardware. http://www.marinehardware.com/downloads/import.pdf This is an older PDF with many of the parts used parts used on my 2016 C26. Contact number is at the bottom of the PDF. I have ordered from them in the past.
 
You can find one here at Fisheries Supply in Seattle. I keep one on hand as a spare after learning that, due to cold and other factors, they can crack, especially down near that drain plug. I boat a lot during most of December (Portland’s Christmas Ship parade) and having one of these crack would be significantly disabling for me. So a new bowl and new gasket are part of my spare parts kit. https://www.fisheriessupply.com/marine-hardware-inc-seasbowl/seasbowl-1-25-150.

Right now, Fisheries appears to have only one in stock.

Thank you for the great info. Gini, I will also order a couple so I have one as a spare.
We do a lot of long distance cruising and you never know when and, most importantly, where this could happen!
I'm beginning to think that Murphy was a boater, " anything that can go wrong, will wrong". He should of added, at the wrong time and the wrong place"!
Thanks again Brian and Gini
