God I hate the boat ripoffs. Perkins engines are just tractor engines,

AGREED !

I have a 3QM30H. I get my filters from a local NAPA store. The store
stocks mostly for farmers. My little 3QM30 is just another farm motor
to the NAPA guy. Also the John Deere dealer has no problems getting
parts for me. Just anbother old tractor motor.

Heh. Be glad that you are not buying parts for a Kohler genset, which
is just another Yanmar, which is just another farm motor. How about
$700 for a raw water pump that will fit in the palm of your hand with
room left over?
