Oil filter location on 2007 185 sport 3.0L

[mjchurch21]

I have a 2007 185 sport with the mercruiser 3.0L and cannot find a diagram on the internet or in the manual showing the location of the oil filter. I thought it would be much easier to find on the internet I am getting all the parts together and wanted to know what I was doing before starting. I do not have the boat as it is currently in storage. If anyone could help I would appreciate it.

Nothing fancy, the filter will be on the side of the block, same side as spark plugs, very easy access. Of course it's on sideways, so when you remove, keep a rag handy to catch the oil.
Also there should be a hose attached to the oil pan. Once you pull the drain plug at the back of the boat, just route the hose through the hole and drain the oil from the pan.

Start the engine on muffs and warm it up, warm oil drains a lot quicker than cold oil.
