You're right about fuel filter models 129470-55700, 129470-55701, or 129470-55702. I recently installed a left over 55701 and recently bought a few new, sealed 55702's on eBay. I've heard many times the Yanmar filter is 2 micron. I've googled and yahooed this every which-way and have not confirmed the microns. I've searched Torrensen & Boatswain's Locker, shipstore.com, bluewatershipstore.com, no confirmation on micron specs. It's amazing how... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (CaptNorm42) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/6609 Wed, 12 Dec 2007 13:13:30 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/6608/t/fuel-filter-for-1997-4JH2E-50-hp-Yanmar.html#reply-6608
One more thing, about the Racor R24S. I believe that both 10 micron and 30 micron replacements are available for that filter housing. The 10 micron spin-on cartridge is R24T (blue), and the 30 micron spin-on cartridge is R24P (red). The same filter sizes are available for the part number 1010 elements used in the turbine-style filters.

This filtration and color scheme extends across many Racor product lines:

S (brown) = 2 micron
T (blue) = 10 micron... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (yorkrose) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/6608 Wed, 12 Dec 2007 08:33:21 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/6607/t/fuel-filter-for-1997-4JH2E-50-hp-Yanmar.html#reply-6607
Interesting. I have been looking for a long time, and every source I can find on the entire Yanmar 4JH series, up to 4JH3, says that the fuel filter is either 129470-55700, 129470-55701, or 129470-55702. Only the latter seems to be available today, and it is shown as a direct replacement for the previous models. The service manual referenced by Norm the other day, which is for the original 4JH, says that the fuel filter is part number 129470-55700. It also notes that the... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (yorkrose) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/6607 Wed, 12 Dec 2007 07:50:36 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/6606/t/fuel-filter-for-1997-4JH2E-50-hp-Yanmar.html#reply-6606

A quick check of the gauge on a bouncy night can reassure you that there is not too much stuff clogging up your filter, or that there is, and it's nice to know this BEFORE the engine dies.

I will never run another boat without the gauge.

Mine is a 2 micron and I know of at least one other here in the marina that uses the same. Also, my primary or Racor is one of the earlier ones and uses a 2 micron spin on filter. This is not my choice and I would prefer a 10 or perhaps 30 as you point out but I can only get the R24S in a 2 micron.

I think you may be confusing two different filters. The standard Yanmar filter comes in only one version, 10 micron. The typical Racor filter added by Catalina can be fitted with either a 2 micron, a 10 micron, or a 30 micron element. These Racor elements are widely available at most marine stores.

It would not make much sense to ever install a 2 micron filter for this application. There is some continuing debate over using a 10 micron or a 30 micron element in the... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (yorkrose) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/6600 Tue, 11 Dec 2007 20:47:38 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/topic/1852/t/fuel-filter-for-1997-4JH2E-50-hp-Yanmar.html
I need to confirm a yanmar part number. I don't have my part numbers by my computer, sadly. I have the 50 hp Yanmar on our '97 boat. It's the 4JH2E model.
I have been asking the yard to put a 30 micron filter on the boat. They just put a 2 micron on it. I clogged up the summer before last.

can anyone confirm whether they are using a 30 or a 2 and what the 30 part number is ?
