Fuel filters

Winterizing this week along with new water pump, drive shaft bushing and contemplating timing belt.
Check out the filters, the new one is the green,,,,,, do u think it's normal for the old one to be this brown color?

Gup, My Yami dealer says Yami recommends a timing belt change at 900 hours for our motor. It's $90 for the belt and I forget how much for the service but it wasn't outrageous. Do it!! It's cheap insurance.

No boat, back in the suds.

filter

I've bought them brand new as brown filters.
Blow it out {inside out}and save.

Is it a Merc??? They charged me $17 bucks for that filter in Orleans.

I've changed those filters in an IH motor back in the 70's.
They do a good job.

Yanmar engine mounted filters are around 35 bucks each plus the Yanmar/racor setup fuel water filters are over 40 bucks each.
X2 engines... Plus they are Yanmar specific, there is no aftermarket alternative. I do get about 300 hours on filters though.
it's like buying a new reel every filter change.

Boat owners shouldn't complain about costs.

Everyone knows we are all rich.

Finally getting my boat back from the shop after the repair of the damage from some dips##t that rammed her in my slip.

Pick her up and covering tomorrow.
Will be turn-key in the spring though.

800 hours in 4 seasons
