What is my best choice? Trap door? Regular slide out screen? Or positive flow slide out screen. Thanks Joe

Joe,

Hands down, the Groco APHS Hinged Door is what you want. Get the next size up for whatever your through hull fitting is and you should be using a full flow fitting, not the standard. See: http://bertram31.com/proj/tips/strainers.htm

Thanks cap. My through hole fittings are 2 inch and I went with full flow fittings.

I forgot to ask what size holes I should go with.

Thanks again Joe

Joe,

For 2" full flow fittings go with the 3" APHS-3000. The Perforated Screen - 0.077" Diameter holes is standard and no options for smaller or larger holes...
