I am looking to mount an external strainer and need to make sure the hull is not too curved near my thru hulls to mount them. There two spots first is near the bow under the v-berth. MY A/C inlet is about 6 inches port of the centerline right past the center draws under the v-berth. the other is the engine inlet. Looking for a 10.25x4.38 rectangle that's a flat mounting surface. If someone can take a ruler and make sure its flat I would appreciate it
This is what I'm trying to mount: https://www.ebay.com/i/303638994285?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-1...
Did you ever get a measurement??

Not yet, someone just messaged me about providing one though, so maybe soon!
Paul -
I measured on my boat this afternoon. Around the engine inlet you should be fine. I think the A/C inlet is probably OK: over the span of 10" fore-aft there's maybe 1/16" of curvature.
Hope this helps

Thanks!
I had jeff up in Michigan measure today as well, there is a smaller version around the A/C inlet that I think will work better due to the curvature. I'll update once there on with how it went in case everyone wants to do it in the future.
