Have used K&N in my vehicles for decades. Very satisfied. Should work in boats.

Mine also disintegrated, and the particles were ingested by the engine. Seems a bit ironic for an air filter to expire this way, though oddly just for failing to replace it. You too were punished. Karma. Glad it worked out.

The sponge will filter the air. Right? Well no, it did work for a while but a genuine Yanmar air filter works better.....as I found out. There, I confessed....it was me that caused the problem. The new Yanmar air filter cost $45 here which seems like a lot for a simple device. But $45 is not a lot when the pain, angst, and disruption of one's sailing season is in jeopardy.

I had a new Yanmar air filter on the boat which I got last year, which I thought what harm could a new air filter do....changed out the old one and replaced with new one, and guess what, in neutral, the engine revived up to 3,400 before i stopped....ran the engine in forward gear at the slip for another 20 minutes.... shut the engine off...started again...revved up and down....engine works as it should. The problem was a lack of air....explains where the smoke was coming from....incomplete combustion...now, with the new air filter, no smoke. Thanks to everyone for thoughts/possibilities of what might be the cause of my engine issue. Going for a sail tomorrow. Rob Abbott AZURA C&C 32 - #277 Halifax, N.S.
