The air intake on my engine is sort of "pear or Hearsy Kiss" shaped. If you look at the 5444 schematic at the Torrenson Marine site- it is cylindrical in shape with an element inside of it. I took mine apart to discover no elemnt inside, when I called Torrenson, they knew nothing of the "pear or Hearsy Kiss" shaped unit only what's on their website. Who has a unit like mine ( I have always seen this unit in O'Day 39 for sale, engine photos). Is the inside of your unit empty or do you have a replacable element and if you do where do you purchase it? Thanks in advance...

mine's the same

Hi, I just bought an oday 39 and prior to I had an engine survey in addition to the hull survey. the engine surveyer noted that it had no intake air filter but did not say it was a problem or something that needed to be corrected. I intend on leaving mine as is. Jules Robinson Miami Beach, FL
