Trawler Forum Classified Posting Guidelines
- We expect ads placed to be related to the topic of this forum.
- Ads that are inactive for 180 days or longer may be moved to the Classified Archive and locked. Ads may be relisted if the item is still current. Alternatively, owners may contact a Moderator to reinstate an archived ad.
- The Classified section is for advertising, members are asked to refrain from posting discussions to a Classified Ad. Please start a discussion thread or PM the owner for discussions.
- Do not hijack another member's ad by posting unsolicited commentary. Example: if a member has posted an ad offering an anchor for sale, don't add a post to his thread stating that you have an anchor you'd like to get rid of also. Posts deemed as unsolicited commentary may be removed.
- For your own security, do NOT include your e-mail or phone number in your ad. Instead request that interested parties contact you via PM (private message) to provide owners contact info.
- Brokers, Dealers, or those with a commercial interest in a sale are prohibited from posting in Classifieds.
- Only Trawler Forum Commercial Members may post ads in the Commercial section. You must be a designated Commercial Member to start threads in this section of the forum. (Contact a moderator if you have questions about this)
- Don't post links to commercial sites where you are also offering the boat, such as eBay, Craigslist or Yachtworld, etc. unless it contains a more in-depth description, additional information or pictures.
- Place only one ad per item (you may repost only when your ad has expired and been removed).
- Asking price
- Location
- A Basic Description
- Clear statement whether you are the owner or non-owner (posting for friend, relative, or acquaintance)
- Don't forget to select: FOR SALE, WANTED or FREE in the Title block.
- Pertinent maintenance and condition information
- Exterior picture or pictures
- Interior picture or pictures (boats)

Avoid Scams.
Our classifieds are free and anyone registered here is welcome to post an ad.
Be aware that there are unscrupulous folks out there. Avoid any interaction that seems odd to you or �feels� wrong. Inquiries from unknown buyers, buyers �agents� and other non-traditional approaches should be treated with extreme caution.
Beware of unsolicited contacts offering to put you in touch with someone else who is buying or selling via e-mail or text.
Do not post your e-mail address or phone number in a classifieds ad.
Hints that you may be dealing with a Scammer:
- Seller or Buyer approaches you via a direct email or PM and then steers you to an off-site communication method (text or email).
- No posts or very few forum posts.
- Recent forum membership
- Insists on conducting negotiations via email or text rather than PM
- Requires payment via Bank Transfer, BitCoin/CryptoCurrency, WesternUnion or other unsecured method.
- Buyer or Seller suggests Paypal "Friends and Family" payment. Paypal is a good way to arrange payment but an invoice for goods and services should be used rather than "Friends and Family". "Friends and Family" avoids fees BUT there is no recourse if the transaction runs aground. Friends and Family is for gifts only. There is no protection for Friends and Family transactions, so never ever use it to buy something.
- Declines to allow viewing the item before proceeding with the transaction.

hate to say it, but that isn't a marine unit. It lacks the UL and USCG ratings for marine use, at least within an engine room. It doesn't have, for example, the metal shields.
Racor can tell you the parts to switch out to upgrade it to the MA standard (except the rating sticker).
I bought the parts to upgrade my two at RacorStore.com. It wasn't cheap. See the invoice attached. It includes the necessary upgrades, plus drain valves and an extra gasket kit.

It's what is installed on our boat (apparently since 1989 when new). In any case, it's a heck of a deal

Yep. Mine, too.
The requirement is part of UL 1105 and incorporated into ABYC.
Just wanted buyers to know that if they care about this fire safety rating the 900FG is upgradable, but doing so cost me about $140/unit to upgrade.

Any engine room fire hot enough to melt through that unshielded bowl is already so well involved that the boat is doomed anyway. Plus, the metal bowl that meets the ABYC recommendation only partially (less than half?) shields the bowl. Big deal. Boat doomed anyway. In my humble opinion, this ABYC recommendation is nonsensical. If a boater is that concerned about an engine room fire for this aspect, replace the Racors with all-metal can filters. Sure, no sight bowl for quick viewing of water or crud but more fire safety.

A Lehman 120 or 135 does not flow enough fuel to spin the Racor so, except for the clear bowl to check easily for water or crud, the Racor has no advantage over a spin-on filter head. In fact, it is a space hog. My opinion, of course. Others have a different view.
