Question

Who (brand) makes the best oil filter for inboard boats? Sierra? Aqua Power? etc.?

Answer 1

You pretty much get what you pay for. The manufacturers genuine filters are generally better quality as they are required to do a good job to prevent failure which would cost the manufacturer in the event of engine failure.

We have used all types of non genuine filters with only one problem. I have heard of another failure which cost the Service Company $14,000 to rectify.

The Seirra, GLM and Aqua Power all come out of the USA and should be of good quality.

Really the decision is yours and the more importent thing is correct installation.

Answer 2

sierra, aqua power, both good but there's not much difference then if you run a regular fram for a car   but if you rather run the marine equipment then i prefer the sierra parts and if you go to napa auto parts there marine parts are made buy sierra and most of the time there cheaper than going to a marina
