After having some fuel related issues early this season my mechanic recommended installing a water seperator filter on my 2000 180 with the Merc 3.0. Adding the filter seems easy enough but I'm not sure where I can actually mount the bracket for it. There's not a whole lot of room in the engine...

I've had my boat for about a year now. Always started right up and ran great (3.0 Merc). Took it out today for a cruise. Cruised for about 45 mins at 3000 rpm. Slowed the boat down and put it back to neutral. The engine sputtered a bit then died. Tried to restart with no luck. After a few mins...

I plan on adding a Garmin plotter/ sounder. Can anyone confirm weather or not a shoot thru transducer will work on this particular...
