That's a standard marine fuel filter.
The caps appear to be guards for the outlets of the self bailing hull.

The filter is water separating, to keep any water in the tank from fouling your carbs, leaning out a cylinder and melting a piston.

The black caps are water INLETS to the live well pumps.

Re: Looks Like A Oil Filter

If you know which end of a screwdriver to hold you can do the pump replacement yourself. Undo the clamps, unfasten the pump, disconnect the wires and remove it. Pumps are generic so there is no real need for an exact replacement. Just make sure the pumps are bad before you replace them. It may just be a bad switch, broken wire, or disconnected wire somewhere in the system.
