Classic Australian Wooden Power Boat Association

Hi guys
I'm starting work on the Y block for the boat.
A cartridge oil filter for the boat being a Ryco R2006P, is a bit hard to find not impossible but a bit rare these days. I have been quoted anywhere between $35 and $46 for a filter.

Has anyone used the adapter kit to use a a spin on oil filter. The kit is readily available and ii about $75 to buy including an oil filter. Then the Z8 oil filters from then on are about$10-$15 each.

Any suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated.
Cheers
Peter.

Peter,

Looked at the adaptor and staying with the original and am going with neither. Will make up fittings to run to a remote filter like on my other boat.

The untapped oil hole is an odd size and would not tap to a standard size so drilled and tapped 2 small holes and will build a fitting with "O" ring and bolted on flange.

Thanks for your input James, it's appreciated.

I have sort of decided that I will go with the adaptor for a spin on oil filter.

I have found a supplier in Ballarat that has a good understanding of these engines. He has a good range of spares on the shelf. Today I picked up a brand new,made in USA, fuel pump with the filter can on the end from them. $72.00 over the counter or $80 on the net.

I saw that this morning and so far I am the only bidder.
we will see what happens

Hi, If the bidding goes any higher you can purchase from the US for around $49.00 including freight. they are on ebay US now.
regards stuart

Thanks, I have set my max at $43 plus $7 postage.
That's about all that I think I'll need for the engine at present..

I do need a repair kit for the water pump. I pulled the pump off, removed the back plate to discover that the impeller is shagged.

Peter did you score the adapter,there is another 1 up starting bid $40.00 cheers tommo

I didn't win it last time as I only went to 43$. It's the same guy as last time.
thanks for keeping an eye open
Peter
