Ayuh,...... Welcome Aboard,...... Some place you can get to Easily to change it, without dumpin' gas into the bilge,.....

While lower is better, the only real draw-back of mountin' it higher, is that ya might have to pre-fill the new filters to help the pump hold it's prime,......
As once primed, the filter could be mounted on top of the mast, 'n still work just fine,.....

In the ethanol fuel days We live in, the fuel filter's contents is a very, Very Important diagnostic tool,.....
Easy to get too, is a Huge Plus,....

Could I mount it low back where the pump is for the steering/trim? Its wood that makes up the backing to the rear seat and frames in the engine compartment?
