Shipmates,
Anyone have or recognize this little jewel?
Is it just a Gas/Water separator, or Filter as well?
Any help leading to a manufacturer is appreciated!
Thanks!

It's a filter/water-separator. The shape of the top casting looks similar to a Racor:

Thanks Ed!
That's what I thought. I'll take a better look at it this weekend. As that looks like a direct replacement dimensionally, I might replace the whole thing rather than attempting to replace just it's filter since I think the element section itself looks a tad different.
After the 5 gal bucket of "GNDN" wiring (Goes Nowhere-Does Nothing) I pulled out of Sea Haven this weekend Neptune only knows the last time that filter was replaced.
I found wiring....good wiring connected to the alternator running off just to dead end! lol Rats nest galore!! Home Depot Wire nuts, etc!
Anyway, expected in a 35 yo vessel! But I always say the best way to know your boat is get into it and NEVER believe the previous owner followed ABYC Standards!

Hey all!
FWIW look'it what I found trolling for Racor pricing: RACOR 110A (http://www.racorparts.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=75&search=R110A)
It's replacement Element: RACOR RT11S (GAS) (http://www.racorparts.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=569&search=RT11)
Of course we need Documentation: RACOR 110A Manual (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2887041/21410_Rev_G_110A.pdf)
Apparently it's still in "vogue" (manufacturing) lol
All along I'm wondering if it was factory supplied. Nice to see I don't need a whole new unit.
