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.


That is true, but I did test the mixture with a hydrometer. Seems a shame to
dump it.
