I just finished reading Quality Time's post in another thread where he had to change his Racor Filter while he was out on the bay away from the dock.
I know I shouldn't say this, but I've not yet experienced a clogged Racor/fuel filter.....(I can hear Gary laughing already).....while under way, or at the dock for that matter. In my limited time/experience with diesels, I've changed the filters in the begining of the season and nothing in between.
I have all the necessary spare filters (primary and secondary), necessary tools and my 'emergency' 1 gallon can of diesel fuel on board.
My real question is....what are the symptoms of a clogged filter? How does the boat react? Do you change out the filters on both sides when one is clogged or wait to get back to the dock to the other side?
