Have to disagree with skunk about the fuel filter, those filters will rust like nobody's business is you put it in the well, it's not rocket science to change one out without spilling. It is a pain to work on in those hatches, but I think it's the way to go.

My thinking is that once they begin to rust it's usually past time to change them anyway.

Good to know about the Seacast.

Finally got it in the water. very happy with that paint I put on the bottom I gained 3-5 mph getting just a hair under 50mph. But the real blessing will be less engine load so better fuel economy. Next project is rubbing it out and a nice big decal on the side.
