That barnacle could certainly affect the flow but was not present when I got the sensor. I would like to see three things happen:
  1. Remove the external strainer. Depending on the design it may mean a complete thru-hull replacement.
  2. Addition of a raw water strainer instead. It is easily cleaned out inside the boat.
  3. A fresh water flush of the engine when cleaning up the boat after a sail. With a flushing Tee and valve installed, it's a 5 minute process.
