    I went to change the oil and oil filter on Nekkid Joy over the weekend and
    discovered that the replacement cartridge-type, screw-on filter that West
    Marine sold me isnt the right part.

    My 4-108/108 has a metal canister at the top rear of hte engine with a
    single bolt through it from the bottom and an O-ring seal at the top.
    Removing this, I expected to find a filter *element* inside (akin to the
    guts of the cartridge-style filter), but it was *empty*!!! (except for
    about a qt of oil.

    I tried West Marine (and 2 auto parts stores) here lcoally, the guy at
    West Marine happened to have a 4-108 in his boat and verified that the one
    in their catalog works on his boat.

    From the top of the filter mount, it says
    AC
    FILTER D702
    ELEMENT AC70

    in slightly raised letters (at least that's what i think it reads - i did
    a pencil rubbing, it's a little smudged.

    I searched online a bit this morning, didnt find any such oil filters.

    Any ideas what filter i need and where to get it? Or a place to cross
    reference this info to a comparable filter?

    thanks,
