Product Code: BMK 18 |
The Marine
Dual Remote Filtration System offers easily accessible
remote mounting capability for a full-flow spin-on oil filter and a
spin-on by-pass oil filter. This unique combination of both
full-flow and by-pass filtration on a single mounting manifold is
the only system of this kind designed specifically for marine
applications.
The BMK18 is
packaged in kit form, which includes the Dual filter mount, mounting
hardware, hoses, hose fittings, component parts and installation
instructions. In addition, adapter kits of four different sizes
enable the BMK18 to be installed on a wide variety of recreational
and light commercial marine engines.

Reduces
Heat
The BMK18
requires a one- to two-quart oil volume increase, offering increased
oil cooling capabilities. The additional hoses, fittings, filters
and aluminum mount assemblies also allow the engine oil to dissipate
heat more efficiently as it passes through the filtration system,
extending the service life of both the engine and the engine oil.. |

Outstanding Durability
 The
Marine Dual Remote Filtration System is designed to be used in harsh
marine environments. The hose fittings are coated with a 3 ml layer
of Alumiplate and 1 ml of zinc and yellow chromate. This Alumiplate
coating is 10 times more corrosion resistant than standard zinc and
yellow chromate plated fittings. While standard hydraulic fittings
typically survive 96 hours in the grueling ASTM B-117 Salt Spray
Test, the Alumiplate-coated AMSOIL Marine By-Pass System fittings
lasted over 1,000 hours. In addition, the fasteners and mounting
bracket are stainless steel and the hoses are U.S. Coast Guard
approved. |

Fewer Oil
Changes
Depending on
the boat owner's hours of use, the improved filtration of the Marine
Dual Remote System, along with the use of AMSOIL synthetic
lubricants, could completely eliminate oil and filter changes during
a typical boating season. With marine engines located in a
relatively confined and remote space within the watercraft, ease of
filter access and reduced oil spillage are also significant benefits
of the BMK18. |

Product
Applications
A large number
of marine diesel engines have by-pass oil filtration systems
installed by the engine manufacturer. Until now, however, this
technology has not been available to smaller pleasure boats and
light commercial marine applications. The AMSOIL Marine Dual Remote
Filtration System was specifically designed for recreational and
commercial marine applications that use inboard or inboard/outboard
stern drive engines.
The BMK18 is
packaged in kit form, which includes the Dual filter mount, mounting
hardware, hoses, hose fittings, component parts and installation
instructions. In addition, adapter kits of four different sizes
enable the BMK18 to be installed on a wide variety of recreational
and light commercial marine gasoline-fueled engines, including those
manufactured by Chris Craft, Chrysler, Crusader, Evinrude, Johnson,
Gray Marine, Mercruiser, OMC, Pleasurecraft, Universal, Volvo Penta
and Westerbeke.
The BMK18 kit
offers a new heavy-duty, machined aluminum adapter and retaining nut
that fits on the existing oil filter mount. Each adapter kit is
application specific and must be ordered separately. Consult the
Marine Dual Remote Application Guide
(G2051)
for specific applications. Adapter kits are available for
the most popular filter thread sizes. When ordering the BMK18,
request one of the following adapter kits:
-
BK195 for 3⁄4" x 16 thread
-
BK196 for 13⁄16" x 16 thread
-
BK197 for 18 mm x 1.5 mm thread
-
BK198 for
20 mm x 1.5 mm thread
Also, for ease
of installation in some applications, optional 90-degree fittings
(BK199 and BK200) can be mounted on the filter adapter collar. These
parts are also sold separately.
The AMSOIL
Marine Dual Remote Filtration System represents the cutting edge of
filtration technology, another example of the AMSOIL commitment to
providing quality innovations that benefit consumers everywhere.

The
effects of marine engines running predominantly at or near full
throttle after extended periods of non-activity include high
operating temperatures and increased potential for wear on engine
components. Dual remote filtration is a highly efficient filtering
process capable of removing the vast majority of particles in the
5-20 micron range; those that cause the most wear. Dual remote
filtration also has the ability to effectively remove particles down
to one micron in size. The AMSOIL Marine Dual Remote Filtration
System (BMK18) offers a clear advantage by providing better oil
filtration, increased oil capacity and longer oil and filter life.
