water seperator replacement filter

[actionljackson]

Happy Memorial Day to all.OOHRAW to those great Marines out there.
I was hoping someone could tell me if there was a replacement filter with a clear bowl collector at the bottom that I could replace my current water seperator with.The one I have is Quicksilver #35-807172.I want one that has the valve to drain the water if I can fit it down there it just seems they only offer them for outboards.I have a gm 4.3L V-6 OC378381.
Thanks everyone.

Odie thanks.I can find replacements for the filter I just wanted to add the bowl to drain off any water collected.Anyone have an idea where to find one for my application?

It is my understanding that the clear, glass bowl filters are for outboard use only - due to safety concerns. The inboard and I/O filters are the solid cannister type.

Racor does make the drainable bowl for your I/O...but it isn't clear. Here is a great article telling you all about filters, which has a picture of the Racor:
