Gasoline Filters
Your boat might be equipped with two Racor
®
320R-
RAC-01 gasoline filters. This filter features a water-
separating 10-micron filter element, a replaceable
spin-on canister, and a clear bowl to help detect water
in your fuel.
Your inspection and servicing routine is directly related
to the quality and quantity of gasoline that you take on-
board. You should check the sight bowls for evidence
of moisture before and after
every mission.
Refer to Blended Fuels in this section for more infor-
mation about water in gasoline.
Replace the filter elements on this schedule, which-
ever happens first:
• Every 100 operating hours
• Annually
• Noticeable engine performance loss
!
WARNING
Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations
exactly when servicing these filters to avoid
engine damage or fuel leaks. Refer to the
manufacturer’s instruction booklet in your
owner’s bag for detailed information about
these service procedures.
! WARNING
Do not allow any liquid gasoline to enter the
boat or accumulate in the bilge. Liquid gasoline
is a fire and explosion hazard. Gasoline vapor
is extremely flammable and highly explosive
under certain conditions.
