Josh,
You are absolutely correct about sound deadening material disintegrating
all over the engine room....that is the case on my boat...the stuff on
my boat is now so old it should be removed....the black dust particles
are quite apparent in the engine compartment.
Actually thinking about moving it and replacing it with either new
material or a different material.

Neil, you're not wrong about the air being relatively clean but
everyone should consider just how small 5 microns is while also
remembering the last time the sound deadening material disintegrated
all over the engine compartment. Its also fascinating the speed at
which the bilge gets dirty on a clean boat. If the air truly is clean
then ANY filter should last forever. If, on the other hand, there is
some mishap then any filter will help mitigate damage to the engine.
