Should I remove the second filter???

I took my boat in to have some water pumped out of my fuel cell. The dealer ended up putting a second water/fuel seperator for some reason between my motor and fuel tank. Now I have a big racor with the see through bowl with drain and a smaller racor. I put 13 gallons of fuel through the filters without issue and have no problem running at WOT (6000 RPM's). My question is, will the fuel pump on my 05 150 Yami 4 stroke be sufficent enough to pull fuel through both filters or will it lead to exessive vacuum that could lean out my motor and cause problems. If the motor was running lean, wouldn't I be able to tell by running her?<br /><br />Thanks.

ditch the racors and go with the 10 micron 90GPH yamaha filter.<br />its about the same micron as the injector filters which happen to be the smallest of the engine mounted filters :( .

My vote is with rodbolt. One is sufficent when using the Yamaha one.
