Abstract
A filter for a water cooling system in a marine drive includes a cavity having an upper side and a lower side, a water inlet that delivers a water flow into the cavity, and a water outlet that delivers water out of the cavity. The flow velocity of water within the cavity is low such that heavy debris sinks toward the lower side of the cavity and buoyant debris floats toward the upper side of the cavity. An upper debris outlet expels the buoyant debris out of the cavity and a lower debris outlet expels the heavy debris out of the cavity.
