Thanks Jeff,
I prefer specified parts, but I just haven't seen a part number nor do I
know where to buy the Yanmar filters. I didn't get the full documentation
with the boat either, so tracking down procedures, diagrams, and part
numbers has been iffy. I wrote down the numbers for the anti-freeze and the
oil, went shopping at all the local auto stores, including Pep Boys, and
found none of the recommended fluids and had no clue what oil filter to buy.
It's the next level of effort to get to a marine store, which I'll do, but
for now I just wanted to get fresh oil(s) and anti-freeze onboard so I can
get the rest of my mountain of work done without worrying about the coming
freeze.

Thanks for the link. I don't know why, but when I Googled Yanmar and 2GM20F
I got nothing.

Scotty, I plan to order some oil filters from Yanmar. Do you want to split
an order?

Scout

Scotty or Jeff,
Do you have an oil filter part number? Fram or whatever.

When I bought the boat there was a site that claimed that most of the
third party filters were worthless. When this was verified by my most
frugal boating buddy, I bought a bushel of authentic Yanmar filters and
I'm still going through them.

If you want a Fram, I'm sure West has the chart.

I just ran 3 gallons of anti-freeze through the sea-water side and
collected it in a bucket, poured it back into the 3 jugs and put it away
for next year's winterizing.

So now you have some antifreeze that's been diluted an arbitrary amount.
I usually suck up about a gallon, then open the valve on the Vetus
waterlock muffler. I usually remove the water pump and sometimes the
exhaust elbow.
