Funny thing is i was told by a leading boat Mechanic here that you do not want to top off the tank especially with ethanol in gas these days- just put stabil and startron and fill up tank with high test in spring.........where is your fuel filter mounted? is that in the battery area- seems like there is no where to put or mount a fuel filter on the transom up above the battery compartment area!
I have a fuel filter in my gas line in between the tank and bulb. Put some sta-bil in it every once in a while, and you should be good to go. The main thing is make sure that the tank is FULL before you winterize it so no moisture can get in. I don't think you need one as long as you maintain it. But if you don't have a filter definitely put one in.
