Groco PS-76-A Poly Filter Basket Replacement for Marine Strainers
The Groco PS-76-A poly filter basket is a replacement insert designed for use in Groco raw water strainer systems. It plays a critical role in protecting marine engines, pumps, and cooling systems by capturing debris before it enters sensitive equipment. Built from durable polymer material, this basket is engineered for reliable performance in demanding marine and industrial water filtration applications.
This model is part of Groco’s legacy PS-series basket line and corresponds to newer BP-series replacements used in modern configurations. It is commonly installed in intake strainers found in boats, yachts, and auxiliary cooling systems where consistent water flow and debris filtration are essential for system longevity.
The PS-76-A is valued for its corrosion resistance, lightweight structure, and ease of replacement. It is widely used as a direct-fit or cross-reference part in Groco ARG-series strainers and similar assemblies.
