Fantastic stuff, thank you so much Dan!!

I think this is the water separator you recommended:

https://www.fisheriessupply.com/moeller-marine-clear-site-water-separating-fuel-filter-outboard-engines-aluminum-head/033328-10

and at Fisheries it is $59.92 with the NWMA discount - which is cheaper than anywhere else I can find by a few bucks!

Hi Paul,

That is the one, I also added the outboard hose barbs so I could bypass it if needed.

I noticed, and really liked, Dan's setup with the fuel hose connectors.  I put a separator on my boat, but I just cut the fuel hose and inserted the water separator in the middle with hose clamps. It worked fine, but I like your setup better.  Also, the separator I put in there doesn't have the little drain screw at the bottom, so if I want to drain the water out of it I have to remove the filter/cannister and pour it out.  Which is not that big a deal, but maybe I'll replace it with a setup like yours.
