I have never claimed to be the brightest bulb in the pack, but I am intelligent enough to finish public school. However, I cannot find the logic, or understand the science, behind putting a freaking motor oil filter upside down on top of an engine.
This is my first boat with a remote oil filter system. What a PIA! Easy to reach, for sure. What a mess. I even expected problems, so I had lots of shop towels around and under the filter mount.
Can one of you really smart people help me understand why that position is beneficial to anyone but an engineer with a great sense of humor?
