On my new to me '81 Cherubini Hunter 36 with Yanmar 2QM20 I have what appears to be a Groco GF-250 or 375 fuel filter bulkhead mounted. I am thinking about replacing it with a Racor 120 (15 gph) or 230 (30 gph).

Any opinions, advice etc?

Seems like the Racor 120 should be fine at 15 gph?

Many thanks for any input.

Any of the Racor filters are more than adequate. I have a 500 on my 3QM30, which is overkill. But, more GPH is more filter area, so it may help you to keep on running a bit longer if you have a filter that is fouling up...Also some replacement cartridges are less expensive than others. It comes down to bang for the buck.

TMJB,

I have used the Racor 120 on my H31 with a 2GM20F for years and never have had a problem.
I also replace the filter element (10uM) each year during the engine oil/filter change.

Regards, Mike
