1995 Volvo 3.0GLP-C in 1995 Glastron 175SX. Would it be ok to mount an aftermarket water separating filter just by screwing the mounting hardware directly into the floor of the engine compartment (fiberglass). The battery tray and other hose clamps are already factory screwed into the floor in the same way. I've read all sorts of issues others have had finding a place to mount one. This is our first boat so I have nothing else to compare to, but there seems to be tons of room in there. Am I missing something?

Thanks...Chris

It needs to be mounted so the filter element has the open end up. The filter will not work laying on it's side.
