I need to replace the baskets in my Groco sea strainers. The originals were Monel and have disintgrated.
They have stainless steel or plastic replacments and the cost difference is next to nothing.
I'm leaning toward the plastic because it eliminates dis-similar metals (electrolysis) that are in contact with each other in the water.
My question is which one is better?

Stainless for shure.

Re: Groco sea strainer baskets
Thanks for the recomendations. Usually I don't hesitate to use stainless, in fact I prefer it in most cases.
I ordered the stainless ones. In case anyone needs a reference chart:
