I have a 4.3L MCM mercruiser, and awhile back bought a kit to move the oil filter to somewhere more accessible. I got *really* annoyed last year by the setup for the stock filter -- I couldn't get my hands or really even any tools around it to turn it, as half of the surface area on the side of the filter is nearly touching the block. I ended up having to pound a screwdriver into it to get the leverage to turn it, so not only did I have busted up hands, no patience left at all, and a filter that was still really hard to turn, but I also had a big oily mess.
Anyway, thought I'd pass the info along. Here's the kit: http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=PRM-10695&N=700+0&autoview=sku
Oddly enough, the kind of filter that I use on my Audi works perfectly in this setup, here: http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/edpd...di&model=TT+MKI&submodel=Quattro&engine=225HP
