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

Special Note About This Part:
This part number is no longer available.
Click here for the alternative part number, Yanmar 119305-35151

Since that is in HTML, it will most likely be stripped by my ISP.

Try this:

The oil filter you want is no longer available and has been replaced.

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

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.
