    2003 Vp.3.0 gl water fuel separator filter questions.

    How much time or hours is a safe time to replace this filter? Is it a good idea to empty water out of this filter in between replacing with a new one? Thank you.

    The trim Motor works as it should. The gage always indicates as down position. If I unhook the wire connection inside the bilge and connect the wires togather coming from the gage? Will this jump the needle or is it by grounding the positive side? If I turn the drive to port is the selinoid...
