    Yamaha vs Racor water sep filter

    The Yamaha "MAR-10MEL-00-00" water sep filter (the tall one) seems to be backordered everywhere I check. SIM Yamaha suggests the Racor PFF5510 as alternative. They're both 10 micron, but the Racor is shorter and 60 gph (the Yamaha is 90gph). Is there any reason not to go with the smaller 60 gph racor?
    Note: this is for a SHO 200

    Sierra International 18-7866 10 Micron and rated for 90gph.

    I've never used this specific filter but have used Sierra in place of Raccor with no issues.

    Geez, I must be "losing it"....I just realized I asked the same question about a month ago. YAM911 was good to suggest the Racor with clear bowl assembly. If I was starting from scratch I would definitely go that route. However, I do have the original Yamaha bracket, etc. that I don't want to change out, so I just want to know if the 60 gph filter is good enough instead of 90gph (if anyone has used the 60 gph on a SHO). Thanks in advance

    60 GPH will be more than sufficient.
