that site only showed a parts breakdown,it didnt show the routing of the lines unfortunately. i did figure out the set up i bought is from a mid 90s version of the hp500(carb). the oil filter bracket is mounted off the rear of the engine head. it looks to me all of the lines were upgraded as sutphen30 recommended.

Trash the stock merc oil lines for some good #10 stuff. Use the good aeroquip, earl's, ARP, etc fittings too. Flow and longevity. That's what makes boating an EVERY weekend sport. Unless you want to wrench all weekend.
