Sea strainer

[Swamalcatraz]

My sea strainer lid has hairline cracks in it and the knob is fused to the 3/8" bolt so it can't be properly tightened! What is the name brand of the strainer and can I get replacement parts for it? The strainer lid is 5"3/4" and the bolt down thru it is a 3/8" bolt, not sure how long but looks like around 6"! ..........Also just did a complete service on it since I just purchased it(2010 R25 from Mrs.Bernard) and the thermostat was taken out along with the impeller completely destroyed inside! I would assume they were having some overheat issues that may have been caused by air being let in thru the cracks in the lid of the sea strainer? .......Any way to send a pic of it on here??

You can get a replacement strainer cover from the parts dept at Ranger Tugs. Hope you were
able to retrieve all impeller pieces.

Thank you! Yes my mechanic back flushed it and was able to get all the parts back out from the impeller!

Brand is Marine Hardware. Marine Hardware makes many components for Ranger and Cutwater boats. They have a catalog with a break down of parts for the strainer and many other parts used on Tugs/Cuts available to order.. It seemed like a Ranger/ Cutwater Catalog. I spoke with a customer service representative this week in search for a finer screen for the strainer. He said they have made many parts for Fluid Motion.
