Purely unintentional...this time.:D

While waiting for comments back from Mercury, I have done a little research. My filters are Racor 3120R-RAC which have .2 PSI pressure drop and 120GPH flow -pretty low drop and way more flow than an 300 needs. The Opti's have low pressure monitoring/warning built-in. Mercury is stating in what I can find on-line is "properly installed" filters are acceptable. 350 Verado literature allows external filters.

I ran my 300 pro maxes for 5 yrs no extra filers no aux,pump never had an issue it goes the same for my 300 x's
Just change water separator /filter every season ,

the K I S S process of thinking is just waaaayyyyy to simple for boats LOL.

actually I like simple but hey it takes all the fun out of trouble shooting LOL.

I like this some actual facts and research! Fuel filters have saved me twice once from bad fuel the other from a bad tank........

no doubt skate.... the old canister style that were in the 28 worked when the tanks failed in it.... I will have them in the 308!!! that's a nice security blanket for sure!!

As long as large non-restrictive filters are used, I can't image them causing an issues. It's cheap insurance, especially on Skaters given the long history of tank issues.

should be ready to start brake-in by the weekend!!!:evilb:

motors done...test on Friday when/if weather will cooperate then break in as much as possible over the weekend!! :evilb:

Nice!!! Brand new Power!!! Enjoy!

Thanks for the info.
