Consider installing a proper fuel filter on the transom if you can. If
the filter is out in the open, outside of the bilges, you can install a
glass bottomed unit that will let you see if any water is being filtered
out.

Yeah, and since it's out in the open, you'll have no trouble breaking
the glass and disabling your fuel supply to the motor. Brilliant!


Also non-compliant with USCG regs and ABYC standards. If you have a
fire or explosion don't bother to call your insurance company.



Ahh, I see my error. I mean the clear plastic, not the glass-bottom
filter. But it still can't be covered up in the bilge. It has to be
above the bilge.
