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.


Oh, yeah, I always take the rubber impeller out of the pump
for Winter layover.

Why do you do that? Does it deteriorate if left in?
