I actually installed the Dual racor filter on Osprey about 2 weeks ago. (I
had it sitting in the box for over 1 1/2 years and never installed it) I
do not recall exactly how much I paid for it, but I got a very good deal
on it. Around 500,- I believe.
Installation was a breeze. I had some issues with the hose connectors on
the filter housing. It does not come with any hose fittings, you have to
get them yourself. And the ones I got where of course the wrong size. (Get
non Racor ones, the Racor ones are damn expensive)
It has a 4 way switch on it. Left On, Right On, Both On, Both Off.
The unit is very well made. And very easy to maintain. I also installed a
manual primer pump to back up my electric primer pump.
The whole install took me probably 3 hours from start to finish. Most time
spend balancing the unit into the right position. It is kind of a tight
squeeze getting everyting in sometimes.
I can scan the install drawings and post them if there is an interest.
Hank.
