YUK, Pete ... Wow. I'd get bottled water.
 Having said that, the strainers we use don't filter down to the micron level anyway - a .07" particle will pass right through. I'd say all that Yuk is headed through the engine one way or another.  But yes, I am doing all new plumbing, flushing T and a new strainer after I get the engine in and I will be installing the T before the strainer... just because |

Thanks for all the replies - I'll post a pic next time I get to the boat.
I also went for the 1"x3/4"x1" Tee - not the 1x1/2x1 listed above. |

Does the tee need to be installed between the rwp and the trans heat exchanger - or between the inlet and the heat exchanger? I don't have a strainer (yet)...

Here is mine - installed yesterday - will be trying it out at some point this week.
 And yes, I will be getting a plug just in case that ball valve chooses to open up... |

No plug necessary.
You’re going to have a hard time priming the pump with that location. |

priming the pump....
why... because the water will be heading out the inlet before getting sucked in? |

Give it a try Brian. I have mine in the same place seems to work fine. Except for the first startup of the year there is always enough water in the hose between the strainer and the pump to prime anyway.

Correct, only an issue if the pump isn’t already primed. |
