I'll stick with the Fram and Delo oil.
Where are you ordering from? The shop at my marina matches
WM / BoatUS prices and he had the Yanmar fuel filters in
stock ( $6 a piece ) . He may have oil filters, or at least
can get them the next day. You want me to call him and get a
price? I'll be down there most of this week.

BTW, you should get a spare fuel filter, or two. I did.

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. I didn't get the
full documentation
with the boat either, so tracking down procedures,
diagrams, and part
numbers has been iffy. I wrote down the numbers for the
anti-freeze and the
oil, went shopping at all the local auto stores, including
Pep Boys, and
found none of the recommended fluids and had no clue what
oil filter to buy.
It's the next level of effort to get to a marine store,
which I'll do, but
for now I just wanted to get fresh oil(s) and anti-freeze
onboard so I can
get the rest of my mountain of work done without worrying
about the coming
freeze.

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

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.
