For what it's worth I just picked up a new oil filter for my 2GM. I
went to do the oil and filter change today and when I opened the new
filter it was about 2/3 the size of the old one. I called the dealer
to give him grief for selling me the wrong part and he told me Yanmar
changed the design. Glad I called it saved me a 50mi round trip.

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

http://shop.torresen.com/ships_store...u=119660-35150

Special Note About This Part:
This part number is no longer available.
Click here for the alternative part number, Yanmar 119305-35151

Since that is in HTML, it will most likely be stripped by my ISP.

Try this:

The oil filter you want is no longer available and has been replaced.

I don't know but the dealer told me the same filter is now used on
umteen engines.

Boring has Yanmar
parts. They make a ''spares kit'', there was one in my
boat
when I got it.

You should always carry at least two spare impellers. I
put one in
two years ago and it failed within ten hours - the vanes
spun freely
on the hub.

I have a new one and a good old one as spares.


Frankly I don't see why people buy the parts year by
year; why not buy 4 or 5 years worth and always know you
have a stash?

What if you sell the boat?
I buy oil filters by the case for my trucks, had 6 left over
when I switched from a Detroit to a Cat.
I still have filters for my '71 Dodge van. Anybody need
one?

When I sell a boat, it comes with a full complement of spares.

Size doesn't matter. Just because it's smaller doesn't mean
it won't do the job.

At least that's what I've been told all these years.
