Replacing old sea strainers with new Stainless Marine so before I call Stainless .......Can someone explain why 4 inlets on each can?......not sure where to run hoses through top 2 or bottom 2?

Is there a screen in between the top fitting and the bottom one ? typically the input is the top and the output to the sea pump on the bottom, not sure on the 4 holer but you could plump in a fresh water flush in the other bottom connection and plug the other top fitting

2 inlets (upper), 2 outlets (lower). Gives multiple mounting options.

Mine are connected to the top gravity feed to the lower fitting through the basket to the sea pump, this way any junk picked up sit on top of the basket
