I was just talking to the DD shop in town about oil filters. The sticker fell off the oil filter housings sometime over the winter, so I don't have the PN for the cartridge filters on my 671N-powered boat. The DD guy, after jokingly telling me that nobody makes the filters anymore and it's time to upgrade to new engines(!), asked if I was interested in going to a new filter head so I could use spin-on filters. It sure seems like those would be less messy than the cartridge type. Has anybody done this swap? Was it worth the time/effort?

Also, anybody have the PN for these filters? The DD guy said he'd have to consult the CD, but he's not sure if he stocks them anyway.

Cheers,
