M25XP Air Intake woes

[vanilladuck]

Just making the rounds on my Universal M25 after having the mixing elbow, water trap exhaust and alternator bracket changed out. Like most, the air filter contraption is bumbling around atop the engine with no real ability to filter air and more potential to imbue disaster into the intake manifold

Figured I would update: this is what I'm ordering currently: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00062YQRA

Cheers and happy sailing!

Since so many of us are maintaining good-running Universal diesels, it seems like a good idea to bump this thread for the benefit of newer forum members.

Such and easy and effective peace-of-mind upgrade

I agree this upgrade is essential, based on the mess I found when I opened mine up.

Would be great if we could curate some threads like "M25 Maintenance Essentials"
