What if both filters clog offshore?
You going dead in the water in a storm while swapping filters?

I thought that was the purpose of having two filter housing and piping
them to shift from housing to housing.

You must be misunderstanding something. Because of the dual
switchable Racors in front of the engine it is very unlikely that
either of the engine mounted filters will ever clog. I replace them
periodically as routine maintenance only.

The Racors require no priming.

Since I have twin engines fed by separate tanks and filters the
probability of ever going dead in the water is very slim.
