Which oil filter for my 454?

I have a 1989 Mercrusier 454 and I think it may not have the correct oil filer on it. Currently it has a WIX 57099 mounted to a remote oil filter bracket. Should I replace it and use the same model or should it be somthing different?

Looks like you have the correct one:

STP has a bigger filter then the standard GM size. I think it is an STP 3376. Just my two cents
