Actually no it ain't. This guys got a 19ft runabout with a v6. He don't
need more fuel filters. And you are forgetting the all those extra
connections are just more places to have a leak some time in the future.
Not to mention buying two spin on filters instead if one.

Just add another Racor or Sierra filter ahead of the filter and install
the
flowmeter between the 2. Will cost an extra $30 at most. Always nice to
have an extra filter / water trap.

I would not install it ahead of the main filter as the main filter is
also
a
water trap. Those little clear filters are not water traps. Does it
have
barbed ends or pipe thread? The ideal installation would be to take a
section out of the metal line, flare the remaining line and install it
there. A not as ideal would be to take a section of the metal line out
and
use a couple short pieces of rubber double wall marine fuel line and
barbs
on the sending unit if it does not have them already. You do not have to
have hard metal line between the fuel filter and the carb but it is safer
in
case of an engine fire.

You might install an additional filter in the fuel line making it the
primary one (I installed a see-through one) to keep crapola out of the
meter, then the meter downstream from that filter.

Hi,

I have a fuel flow meter NAVMAN F2100 that i want to install in my
boat. The engine is a MERCUISER 4.3L (no EFI). The boat an RINKER
captiva 192 BR

The manual says that i must install it AFTER a primary fuel filter.
But on the mercruiser after the prinmary fuel filter the fuel lines
are from metal and are very close to the engine.

Any of you boaters got experience with installing this meter on your
boat with a mercruiser engine.

Als tips and photo''s are welcome.
