I have an inline fuel filter in the line going from the fuel tank to the engine. Is this normal? Some people have told me it's a fire hazard. It is the same as the filter below. I've had the boat serviced before at a reputable shop and no one has said anything to me about it.

NOT LEGAL , ESPECIALLY IF ITS ON THE PRESSURE SIDE
You want a spin-on water sep filter on the suction side of the fuel pump
