I typically use a 30 micron primary and engine mounted 10 micron secondary with no problem. Last year, I got a free supply of 10 micron 12S? Racor filters...which I used with no problem.
If Yanmar specifiied 10 micron as the OEM filter, then I see no reason to go smaller. The times when I am banging around sloshing up crap in the tank is the exact time I do not want to be changing unnecessarily small filters that got prematurely clogged.
I also think 3 inline filters (three!) is unnecessary.
