    Yes I got it back on Wednesday, and went to charge my batteries for a tournament I was fishing on Sunday and noticed oil on the cement under my lower unit. Turns out I had about 10-15 oz of water in my LU oil.

    It is mounted on the Port side of the motor. It has a red cap on it they make a tool to replace it but you can do it using a screw driver most of your marine stores will have both the fillter and the tool.

    I know of 2 boats ( Bullets) from same dealer in your area that have been rigged with a gas line that is too small from tank to motor. A 1/4" gas line was replaced with proper size and top speed increased 7 mph.

    I dont think anybody in this area buys bullets from this area since rothwell quit selling them. Theres a reason.

    I don't even know if K & J is still selling them, I think the closest dealer is in Tennessee unless Sartin Marine at Lake Fork is still a dealer

    If you do come to Sartin drop me a line and I'll come pick you up and we can hit Fork while they fix your boat.

    Ok, finally pulled the fuel filter, it looks dirty and there is some stuff in the bottom, kinda looks like filings, and as for the fuel lines, they are they same size, both are 5/16" but that's what came from Mercury with the boat
