AC Pump and Strainer Replacement

Hi, new here and hoping someone has experience with replacing parts of their AC.

I am a new owner of the boat, so I am not certain what is there currently was the original equipment but I do know it’s broken. The sea strainer housing is destroyed (sheared bolts, broken housing, etc) and the pump is also I op. It appears both were Marine UL but I wanted to see if anyone has replaced with another one and has a recommendation. There are far more choices than I expected, but based on feedback and ratings I am currently looking at Shurflo for both.

Any advice or history is welcome! Thanks

shurflo is always a good bet along with some others, attwood is one brand I would hesitate to use but some tomes you just have to us what fits. Think about how much you use the a/c, unless someone managed to shoehorn a genset into a 2600 you will only be using the a/c at the dock when your plugged in so you might not need the best most expensive pump just one that's reliable but I would chose a strainer that was pretty darn good. The more stuff you keep from going into the pump the better it will work and the longer it will last
