My wife and I recently purchased our 1995 Catalina 36 MKII this past summer. Love this boat!  Since that time, I have enjoyed making a list of improvements based some of the amazing content found on this web site.  One of my first projects now that the boat is out for the Winter, is installing a new Groco ARG-S series raw water strainer near the front of the engine compartment making it more accessible to check and easier when winterizing the engine. I currently have a 1” ID hose running from the raw water intake seacock to the original raw water strainer, with a 1” ID hose running from the raw water strainer to a reduction fitting on the raw water pump that reduces from 1” ID to 5/8” ID.  Is there problem with having the 5/8” ID fitting and hose coming directly from the raw water strainer to the 5/8” ID fitting on the raw water pump? It doesn’t seem it should make a difference as to where the ID gets reduced.  Any thoughts or input is much appreciated. ,
