There isn't any discussion of fuel filter change in the manual, so I want to make sure I did it right.
Is there a way to take it out without spilling gas all over the bilge? I can barely get my hands down there to pull off the two mounting bolts, are you supposed to take off the fuel lines? I had to disconnect both fuel lines just so I could get the filter and gaskets in, and no way I could have filled it with fuel without dousing the entire boat. Will I have trouble starting with the empty fuel filter canister in the spring?
It's 20 degree here, I couldn't run a hose if I wanted to. If I reattach the battery and just turn the key on will the pump fill the filter, and will that show any leaks?
