ABSTRACT:
A device for clearing grilles covering water intake ports on watercraft whereby the grille may be easily cleared while remaining on or in the watercraft. The clearing device comprises at least one scraper that includes a base and a plurality of teeth extending outwardly from the base. A line is attached to the scraper and extends outwardly in opposing directions therefrom. By grasping one end of the line in each hand and looping the clearing device below the hull adjacent the grilles, the user moves the scraper back and forth across the grille so that the teeth grab the grasses and other materials pulling them free.
