Sea water strainer

[Notoriousscottyb]

Is it crazy to run a seawater strainer for sand and debris? I've seen a lot of pictures of burned pistons from water jackets being full of sand. I would think it only takes once to fill the engine with sand and then it stays there even after flushing.
Anyone have an opinion on this?
Is a strainer going to inhibit water flow?
Has anyone put one on their seadoo.
A lot of beach and shallow where I live.

this is the strainer that I use and it hasn't hurt my water flow at all it still spits a big stream out the back of the ski in the motor always runs cool never having any issues.

Very cool, Thanks I'm definitely going to use one then. I really don't know why there not already there for an extra $20.
