Is this system under pressure? I need to change out the fuel filter on the boat and want to see if it's as simple as unscrewing it and putting in the new one. Advice/help appreciated.

No, it's not under pressure, at least it shouldn't be if it's the OEM filter mounted on the exhaust manifold. It's on the suction side of the fuel pump.

Ayuh,... Welcome Aboard,.... I start with my filter wrench, a new filter, 'n a freezer baggie...

Crack the old filter Loose, with the wrench, slip the baggie 'round it, 'n spin it off, 'n drop it into the baggie, 'n seal it up....
Take the new filter, pull the dipstick outa the motor, 'n use the oil on the end to lube the new filter's o-ring,...
Start it on, spin it snug, 'n tighten another 1/4 turn...

Now you can invert the old filter in the baggie, 'n look for water, 'n crud...
