Vida, in my boat's fuel system set-up the electric boost pump is outside the Cool Fuel System, that's why I was confused, compairing the schematic with your initial guidance. Actually the fuel comes from the tank to the booster pump, then to the Fuel/Water Separating Filter, then to the Cool Fuel System and finally to the rail (with a bypass to the Fuel/Water Separating Filter). I will try to search for the second filter (the small one) at the edge of the booster pump.
According to the Engine Service Manual, installation of an additional filter is not recomended (probably it may disturb the flow).
Anyway, your information is really valuable, thank you very much.

The filter you are referring to is the one I was indicating. It is found inside / next to the fuel pump assembly. It's the only one installed in the system. I was told by some mechanics that an additional water separator / filter can be installed within the fuel line. The small filter inside the fuel pump assembly is to protect the fuel pump from debris. I have not installed additional filters (both engines) but i am strongly consisting it since it would remove moisture from the fuel which the current small filter does not. One obervation made is that the filtering unit can not be the one with the clear drain system these are only used in outbroards.
Closed oil filter type only.
