You may be able to find a used kit. Not sure on an off the self new kit. You might have to piece one together. Installing with the motor in place will likely be a real pain getting the new oil lines on where the filter was.

Side not, why the external power steering reservoir?

If you have twins and external hydraulic steering and either engine operates the steering then a shared reservoir is required. I found out the hard way. Took a while to clean up.

could be a good time to add an oil thermostat as well, if you don't have one already.

Some options from Hardin: https://www.hardin-marine.com/c-334-...l-filters.aspx

If you use a remote oil filter plate designed to replace the oil filter, you can easily.plumb it to where you want. Not an ideal setup, but it would work. Then tidy it up if and when you pull the engines.
