A marine propulsion device has an engine; an exhaust manifold for conveying exhaust gas from the engine; a cooling water jacket on the exhaust manifold, wherein a cooling water passage for conveying cooling water alongside the exhaust manifold is defined between the cooling water jacket and exhaust manifold; and a cooling water sprayer that sprays cooling water into the exhaust manifold. A manually serviceable cooling water strainer configured to strain cooling water supplied from the cooling water passage to the cooling water sprayer. The manually serviceable cooling water strainer can be manually coupled to and manually uncoupled from the marine propulsion device without use of a tool.
A marine propulsion device comprising:
A manually serviceable cooling water strainer for straining cooling water flowing through a cooling water passage entirely defined radially between a cooling water jacket and an exhaust manifold for conveying exhaust gas from a marine propulsion device, wherein the manually serviceable cooling water strainer is configured so as to be manually coupled to and manually uncoupled from the cooling water jacket without use of a tool, the manually serviceable cooling water strainer comprising:
