Water Separator / Fuel Filter

[TrailerCruiser]

I'm looking for a fuel filter water separator recommendations for a Yamaha 60 horsepower engine. The engine is a two stroke with oil injection, so the separator will need to work for straight gasoline, not diesel. Any recommendations on which filter water separator I should purchases? Would like to bolt the separator to the transom right next to the motor.

Thank you for the link to the Yamaha filter system. Would kind of like one with a clear bowl so it is easy to detect if water gets in gas. Do you think this one would work as well?

I used one like that in my RIB and a 15 HP Yamaha. It was fine. Frankly, I never saw water in it, but I suppose it's always a possibility to get a bad batch of fuel at a fuel dock some time.

I'm not sure but I think it may be against CG regulations to have a clear / plastic bowl on a gas water seperator / filter.

There is no prohibition against the use of a fuel filter, with a clear plastic bowl, above or below decks, as long as the boat is powered with outboard engines.
The problem with plastic bowls, is [lack of] fire resistance.
