Yanmar engines are found on many tractors .... simply go online and do websearch: "tractor+parts+Yanmar".
Such a replacement engine mounted filter for your engine (not a filter-separator) should have a µM removal 'rating' of 15-17µM.
However, if what you lost overboard is the small 'filter' thats mounted ON the engine it will be a very poor 'water separator' as its not located in bottom-most portion of the fuel delivery tubing where water will accumulate. A Water separator NEEDS to be placed in the VERY LOWEST portion of the fuel delivery piping.
If you NEED a water separator due to your history of operation, then I suggest simply to put an EMPTY filter housing with an integral bottom/'bowl' drain cockk valve in the lowest level of the fuel delivery system. Using an empty filter housing (with drain cockk) to trap water is known as a "knock-out pot".
