I am pretty sure that one of the members on this list suggested to plumb an 
extra T into the water intake (works only if your through hull is straight). 
Normally, you use the 90 deg part of the T for the water intake. When plugged, 
you attach a 30-50 cm of a hose (long enough to get you above the water level) 
to the other (straight up) port on the T and use a dowel to push out anything 
that plugged the intake.

What you are suggesting should work (kind of), as well, provided that the hose 
between the intake and the strainer is long enough and can be bent straight up.

However, if you don’t disconnect the hose from the strainer, you would flood 
the boat (I don’t think you would sink it, just flood the bilge, provided that 
you know what you are doing there). That would not be that much different than 
replacing the speed transducer when in water or replacing the packing without a 
haul out.

Subject: Stus-List plugged engine water intake

Last week on a cruise, we ran the motor while at anchor to warm the water tank 
for showers.  When we started the engine the next morning, I noticed the sound 
of water from the exhaust seemed off and sure enough, a few minutes later the 
engine began to overheat.  We re-anchored and I went below to check the 
strainer basket which had a bit of grass in it, but not enough to plug it up.  
My wife (bless her heart) dove in and saw a big clump of seaweek attached to 
the hull where the intake should be.  She managed to clear it and we got under 
way with no more trouble.  One lesson is to be careful of running the engine 
when the boat is at rest as I am sure you are much more likely to suck stuff 
into the intake as opposed to when the boat is moving at 6 knots (that has 
never happened to me).  But the experience got me thinking about how to resolve 
the problem of a plugged intake without swimming.  Is it possible to take the 
basket out of the water intake strainer and run something flexible and stiff 
down the tube and clear the intake without diving?  I am thinking of stiff wire 
or something like the fiberglass snake I use for running wires through small 
spaces. Anyone done this successfully?   Dave
