dynamic balancer for brake rotor

Do inboard boat motors have to have a marine oil filter?

I have a 1974 century SKI boat. It has a regular vehicle engine in it, a Mercury Cruiser. I want to know if I have to have a marine oil filter for it or can I use a regular Fram filter?.


Auto filters work fine as long as you get the right ones. Use a cross reference directory using the marine filter # to find the equivalent auto filter. Most auto supply stores have directories where they sell the filters.
