sea water strainer

"Those should be dealt with by resealing the unit with new gaskets. Perko used to use cork which lasted only a few years before leaking again. I BELIEVE they now use rubber, hopefully nitrile or similar."

Perko's current production strainers use rubber gaskets but the older ones still require cork. I don't know why but Perko says you can't retro fit an old strainer with rubber gaskets. Both types of gaskets are still available.

It's a size difference as I recall.
