weed filter

Niet echt een pot, maar de NL beschrijvingen lijken ook meer op een filter, dus vandaar.

strum box

Maritime Dictionary m-i-link.com (I suppose you know it Brian, but if you don't it may come in handy for the translation you're working on):
strum box = a perforated metal box fitted around a bilge suction pipe opening to prevent debris from choking the pipe and bilge pump.
According to TWB Scheeps=/regel-/istallatietechniek (Delévaque) also know as 'mud box'.
