Not to knock Racor and I have used many of them on larger boats / battle-wagons (both civilian and Military) with diesel's. I would feel safer getting and installing one from the maker of your engine. Brother Cincy ran into all kind of trouble on his 190 when his Honda injectors could not digest some sealing compound that the filter builder had used and the fuel (I suspect) melted chunks of that sealant compound and sent it into his fuel injected engine (yuck)

If I remember the story correct, he got very lucky and the filter manufacturer paid him back for all the engine repairs (parts and labor I believe) which were not cheep from what I recall... Now I have Honda Marine filter (with the clear drain bowl) on my Honda 150 and if yours is a Yamaha, I would just stick with their factory tested unit... I would just make sure it also has the clear drain bowl so you can see if it has any junk floating around in it...

By having a OEM part and installed by the dealer (good insurance) IF something were to happen you are much better covered warranty wise, this even though I suspect that many of the "so called" OEM units are in fact, made by Racor Just less risk for a very expensive engine you know
