If this is the Graco filter with the transparent cup, and if you winterize your engine with the antifreeze, make sure that you drain the AF from this filter before winter. The cup has a tendency to craze with AF left in it. Guess how I know

Just screwed the mounting fixture to the bulkhead and ran hoses from the thru hull to the strainer and from the strainer to the raw water pump. I used two 90-deg bronze elbows on the outlet as it was facing outboard to avoid a loop in the hose. It was tight but it works. I've put in a freshwater heat exchanger so my raw water pump is on the forward end of the engine, but with the original raw water pump the hoses should flex enough to reach the pump. Let me know offline if you want pictures. Neil Gallagher Weatherly, 35-1 Glen Cove, NY
