That’s not the right one. S3213. possibly s3214 if you have the other thread. Do you have a Yamaha filter block currently?

Make sure that it will fit specifically the clearance to the bottom of the locker. You may have to move things that are there already. You want enough bottom clearance not only to be bale to change the filter but also to access the drain fitting.

The S3213 has an 11/16"-16 thread. That is the most common out there...Yamaha/Mercury/Suzuki oem use that thread. OMC used 1"-12 thread(S3214)

S3213 is 10 micron, 60GPH. Its uses a clear bowl for viewing and draining.

You can mount a clear bowl unit inside or outside if you have outboard engine(s). Inboards and I/O must use metal bowl if the unit is in the engine space.

Check Amazon for complete "S3213" kits that include the filter head.
S3213 used to be only Parker/RACOR but now the part number is copied by many brands. They make them look like Racor filters.
Are they as good? Good enough given the price? Thats your decision.


You can also use Sierra 18-7919

Recommend a stainless steel head versus powder coated aluminum. The mating surface often gets corroded on the aluminum ones. The mating surface is not powder coated on the aluminum ones and it corrodes pretty easily.
