IM working on this boat and its got 2 canister style fuel filters, one at the tank outlet and one after the fuel pump. both are a gf481 style filter. im wondering was this an option or did someone add this? i cant see the reason for trying to suck and push fuel through 2 of these filters and retain enough pressure to do the job at the injectors (TBI).

Injectors typically require 10 micron filtration or better.

Your typical “boat” filter is 30-40 microns. Need a second filter to reduce particulate down to 10 microns

Clean filters cause very little flow restriction
