I'm tired of standing on my head to change my oil filter. Can anyone recommend a decent remote oil filter kit for a 1997 5.7 Mercruiser I/O?

Do all remote oil filter kits require removing the engine to install, my filter is very difficult to get to?

I've seen some remote oil filters mounted upside down, doesn't this create a mess when you remove the filter or does the oil drain out of the filter when then engine is stopped?

Thank you.

You can get one at any marine dealer. most likely here on Iboats. I have found good quality at auto parts stores. Never seen an engine that would be hard to install the remote. Take old filter off install the body run lines your done. you can put the new filter anyplace you like. It also makes a good place to install a oil cooler if you need one.
