That is why I just change mine too when i do the Water Sep filters. It is really strange though that there is no mention of the disc filter in the Cool Fuel Gen 3 supplement, other than seeing it in the parts diagram. Strange.....

Changed my cool fuel 3 filters and discs this morning. I’d say they were due. Inside of the unit looked good.

Hard to say. At least two seasons but I’m thinking longer than that seeing them now. I had a shady mechanic do some work on my boat a couple years back in a pinch. He changed both raw water pumps and said he did these too. Both pump pulley bearings failed after 50 hours due to the belt being too tight. Now I think he never touched these. Adding this to the seasonal to do list. Fortunately I didn’t have any fuel issues leading up to this.
