Also I'm not sure about the Yamaha systems posted but for some reason the ones I looked at said not to install where it would be in direct sunlight.  Not sure why but I did get mine out of lighted areas.  Did the Yamaha brand say to do this?

For the $25 bucks it cost me and at $7 for replacement filters that I can purchase locally (which makes it convenient) its well worth the additional particle filtration let alone having some water holding capabilities.  I don't get to hung up on the particle filter ratings as without an efficiency rating it doesn't mean much.  But I know there is more filtering taking place and I'm happy about that.[/QUOTE]

The filter system I installed last year (Merc/Tohatsu) has two input and two outputs. I hooked up one input from the gas tank and then my main motor and kicker on the two outputs and just plugged off the other input. Now both my main motor and kicker can benefit from the additional filtering. One thing to remember is if you do this and your main motor has an electric fuel pump you have to put a check valve inline with your kicker motor. If you run both motors at the same time without a check valve the main motors pump with starve the kicker.
