I agree. Now that I've changed the filter on that obsolete Racor, I can
see that it is much easier to replace than a spin on. I would like to
be able to wipe the alge film out of the sediment bowl but it isn't
really hurting anything and I can disassemble the filter after fall
layup. I'm going to stick with my current filter as long as the
elements are available.


It's a Racor 200 FG (same as my boat). Obsolete so the filter
elements are bit more costly than the 500 MA/FG. The filter elements
on it are TINY though.

I'm going to upgrade to a Racor 500 because the bigger filter elements
are nicer and more likely to be in stock in out of the way places.
