I have a Sea Ray 220 BR with a 6.2 MPI Bravo three. There is this medium
sized (about a 2" diameter) in-line fuel filter before the main water
separator/filter. Merc wants $47 for this thing!!! I have tried to cross
reference the numbers (it is a Racor filter with a Racor number) but it must
be proprietary for Merc so I have had no luck.

I don't suspect that there is anything special about this filter but does
anyone know for sure. $47 for a $5 filter is robbery and I think any in
line will work if it has the capacity. Any opinions?

Thanks
