Serviceable cooling water strainers for straining cooling water in marine propulsion devices

Abstract:

A marine propulsion device has an engine; an exhaust manifold for conveying exhaust gas from the engine; a cooling water jacket on the exhaust manifold, wherein a cooling water passage for conveying cooling water alongside the exhaust manifold is defined between the cooling water jacket and exhaust manifold; and a cooling water sprayer that sprays cooling water into the exhaust manifold. A manually serviceable cooling water strainer configured to strain cooling water supplied from the cooling water passage to the cooling water sprayer. The manually serviceable cooling water strainer can be manually coupled to and manually uncoupled from the marine propulsion device without use of a tool.
