The see through bpwls are not legal in some installations. Maybe Racor's
website has the rules.

Good point and advice, Bill. I think it might be that clear bowls are OK
for open installations (e.g. outboard), but you need a metal bowl for
enclosed places (e.g. I/O or inboard). But, again, best to check on that.
Probably any good local boat rigger would know as well.



AFAIK the clear plastic bowls alone are not USCG approved, but the ones
with a metal protector underneath are.

The lower half of this web page shows the ones USCG approved for diesel
engine rooms. Guess what, they're more expensive!
