Wix 57254, just bought 3 for $66 from Discount Fleet Supply, other deals are available through Amazon.

For the record, I am happy with the Wix oil filters but the fuel filters (33138) are subpar to the OEM Yanmar filters as they have much smaller filter element. Price is 3 to 1 so either go with the OEM Yamnar or change the cheaper one more often.

Randy if your boat is 2006 the yanmar is most likely a 6LPAM-STP (not sure the difference from older 6LP-STE which was in my 2000)
6LPAM-STP uses yanmar filter 119770-90620.
These guys are yanmar dealers and ship anywhere and you can buy fuel filter and impeller etc too for basically same as aftermarket price.

119770-90620 is the same Yanmar filter for my older 6LP-STE so you should be good with the Wix 57254. Just google Wix 57254 and look for the best price with shipping. I have gotten them in the past for as low as $19 each with free shipping, $66 for 3 shipped isn't bad either!

That is the same oil filter that I have. I was able to find out that O' Rielly auto has access to them. So in a pinch could possibly go to O'Reilly auto parts to get a filter. They are $39 apiece. The Wix57254
