Need water filter for generator

cls10105

Hi everyone, I need a replacement water filter kit going to the generator for a 2002 342 fv. This is the one coming off the seacock. I hope explained this right. Thanks for your help.

Rinker bought those strainers from various suppliers over the years.  Can you post a photo of yours?

@Black_Diamond recommends an upgraded strainer in this thread.

@LaRea I put it up when I took it off and now having a hard time finding it. But as soon as I do I will take a picture. Thank you.

@Black_Diamond is 100% on the money. I used Forespar for my generator and front A/C strainers. Far superior to anything else. Easy to install and parts are more robust and easy to get.

@Michael T do you happen to know the size or part number? The contraption that black diamond put goes way past my mechanical ability. Most of you guys are really good me not so much. Thanks for your help!

This is the one that came in my boat.

@cls10105.....quite a while back I posted a lengthy thread with parts numbers, instructions, pictures and a contact name at the company. I'll see if I can find it in the forum search engine. If not I may still have some pictures on a data stick. It is not that hard a conversion and I bet you could do it. I think @Black_Diamond may have posted some pictures too as he did a similar mod. I added connections to each strainer that allowed me to either pressurize them if there was an air lock or add antifreeze for winter storage. That modification was a bit more complex but the strainer swap I'm sure you could do.

@LaRea, hello I took a picture today I hope this helps.

YYZRC

Same as mine.

@YYZRC your white one is the same as the one on my ac intake.  Why would they ever make a bowl with a white interior?  You can’t see the screen.

Grahamu

They are clear when new and cloud over time. Antifreeze with alcohol in it is one of the causes.

YYZRC

Yep what @Grahamu said!

Spyderweb

Ah, did not know that.  Can just the bowl be replaced?

YYZRC

I bought the whole part as it was easier but the bowl is the exact same so I can just swap them.

I replace my factory generator filter for the following one.
