Also I forgot to add I have crusader 454 engines. I have read some posts that those engines for that year might not have had sea strainers so the one on the port side I cleaned might have been a/c and the one on starboard side I can’t get to might be generator. Any thoughts on this as well?

For those that did, and I might be thinking of the 35's, I seem to recall that if I couldn't squeeze down there from the top in front of the engine, I would get in front of the port engine and access the starboard strainer by stretching across the front of the generator. And yes, typically the AC strainer was on the port side and generator strainer was on the starb side.
I did not think of that. I will try. Thanks

Worked! Little tight, carrying a bit of holiday weight.
Thanks.

Re: Access to sea strainer
I would be miffed if strainers or seacocks were tough to get to. I think you'd want EASY access to something like that, even if another hatch had to be put in somewhere.

No engine strainers. One for a/c and one for genny. They are different sizes. That should have been my first clue. And yes, a separate hatch would be nice.

No. Just genny and a/c.
Thanks
