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.
