    OK - for the truly paranoid (and to make life easier)...

    If you are worried about clogging filters - why not have
    quad Racors (10 and 2) and dump the engine mounted filter
    which is a PITA anyway, and seems to be what everyone is
    worried about.

    On the more serious side - for real life - the people with
    the biggest problems are those that never or rarely move.
    Deliveries for non-moving boats are always the worst - they
    may burn through a case in what feels like no time. I've
    changed more filters in yachts, than I have on commercial
    vessels despite much greater run times on commercial
    vessels.

    Otherwise keep your tanks clean, a box of primaries, and a
    few secondaries around. 30 or 10 primaries - your
    preference - and fuggedaboutit if your fuel is clean and
    dry! There are many more things on your boat that WILL go
    wrong, until you are a dock condo - in which case
    everything will break when you finally move the boat!

    Now back to your regularly scheduled program - A/C pumps
