There should be two filters, an on engine filter (secondary) and a Racor (primary). I don't know which Racor you have so can't recommend a specific filter element.
Generally a 30 or 10 micron is used in the primary filter. The secondary on-engine Westerbeke filter is a 15 micron as that is what the engine needs. If your tanks are old and potentially dirty a 30 mic would be fine..

My brother has had good results with the Dahl filters. His motor is a Perkins 4-108 that sounds about the same size as the Westerbeke 46.
