Larry, I too have been using the Groco polyethylene baskets for years because they don't have dissimilar metal/corrosion problems. They've been almost entirely satisfactory. I say "almost" because the strap across the top on one basket broke off, but it was easy to substitute a cable tie in its place so the basket can be easily removed. Go for it! --Milt Baker, Nordhavn 47 Bluewater, Belfast, ME Larry wrote: I have to replace one of my Groco 1" strainer baskets. When I went on line I noticed that Groco makes and sells a replacement basket made out of polyethylene in addition to stainless steel. The polyethylene is about 30% cheaper. Does any one have comments or experience with the the polyethylene?
