Thanks, Bill. Our situation with these filters is resolved, but just
for clarification I should point out that just because one has a newer
boat one should not assume they have the newer style housing. We met
a Beneteau owner yesterday. He ordered his boat in 2004 and it was
constructed in 2004. It has the older style housing and he must use
the adapters.
Beneteau makes a lot of boats each year. Apparently it took or will
take some years after 1997 before all the inventory of the older style
housings at the various boat manufacturers is depleted and only the
newer style housings are installed. Still do not understand why a new
part number was not assigned to this element and filter. That would
have prevented any problems.
