If it's a gas filter and you're in the states just pour out the contents
into a clear glass jar at the end of the year. The water will settle to the
bottom and you can pour off the gas. Reuse the filter. I'm on the same
filter 3 years later.

For a gas boat used in the developed world, I'd probably throw away one,
maybe two of the filters and use a piece of hose. A car uses only one
gas
filter, after all...

Good point, perhaps the other gloom and doom posters should pay attention
to
that.
The filter in question is mostly for water separation, I also have a glass
inline, mostly to be able to monitor fuel flow and the final filter in
integrated in the engine.

Perhaps, but I have yet to see any water or grit or anything at the shiny
bottom of my spin-on filter. I always get my gas at a roadside gas station.
Are there some unseen small particles possibly clogging up the filter, or do
you suggest changing it just "because".
