Racor Fuel Filter change on my Catamaran

A little less than a year ago, while still in the Bahamas, I filmed the removing and replacing of my Racor fuel filters.
It's not difficult to do, but I know I searched the internet for some info or tricks on how to do it before I tackled the job.
I've edited it into a short little video that I thought I would share with you.
It's not meant to be an Instructional Video, Lol I know some things but I'm no teacher, rather it's just a heads up on how it went for me. New fuel filters cost approx $18 US at West Marine or $8 US in the Dominican Republic if you know where to look ; )
I highly recommend installing these pre filter Racor or similar fuel filters, especially if you are going to be purchasing diesel fuel in 3rd world countries which can be dodgy at times, but not from Popo in Luperon. His fuel was excellent, although we checked it closely and filtered it while fueling to be sure.
I've since learnt that you can install an inline fuel pressure gauge that will tell you when flow pressure has decreased and you should probably change your fuel filters. This little trick can save you money on replacing fuel filters that you didn't really need to replace, but this could also be a case pf personal preference. In the end we all make our own judgement calls on what to do or not to do. Be safe out there : )
