As Mike knows, mine is way to close to the bulkhead to do anything unless you remove the pump also.
Doubt this could happen twice, but inspect the strainer basket assembly well while it is apart and don't knock it around or overtighten the bolts during reassembly. The first trip after replacing my impeller last season, the entire lid of the strainer cracked all the way around (better pressure from new impeller on old strainer assembly?), and blew off above the threads. Darn near tried to sink me as I pumped the ocean into my bilge.
