Cheap and easy scupper strainer.

[BreakingBass]

My boat spends a few weeks uncovered next to the garage between the time I take it out of the slip and get the winter shrink wrap on.  During this time, falling leaves etc. get in the scuppers and a hard rain will flush smaller leaves into the bilge.  I used small sections of a house downspout strainer, rolled to a point, to serve as a scupper strainer.  Maybe it will work for others.
