Default Somebody correct me if this won't work on an inboard.

Run lines from each tank to a 3 position valve, then to the water seperator, then to the fuel pump.

Thats how I had mine hooked up, except I had a full transom and there was a rear hatch for me to put the switch.

Looking at the seperator bracket you can see that two of the ports will access the outer edge of the filter while the other two ports will access the center portion of the filter.
(Before adding the 3 way valve. I had mine connected like this.)
The two that went to the center, was connected to each tank.
One of the two that would draw from the outer part of the filter was hooked to the outboard motor (via bubble) and the other port was plugged.
After adding the shutoff valve I just had an inlet (flows into the center of the filter) and an outlet (draws from the outer edge of the filter) and the other two were plugged.
Check and see if there are any instructions about this being correct or not, I normally don't read them.

There are always primeing issues when replacing a filter.
When adding the new one, fill the filter with fuel then screw in place and then try to remove all the air that will be trapped.
This is easily done with an outboard using a primer bubble. An inboard may require some additional thought.
One suggestion might be use the remaining port as a priming outlet by having a bubble and hose connected to it with the end of the hose plugged when unused. When priming is required simply remove the cap and pump the bubble till fuel flows out. I'm sure this is not the normal way it's done with inboards but it will prevent tampering with the line going to the fuel pump.
Some of the guys with inboards would be better at suggesting the priming aspects than me.
