They do make a version with the aluminum bowl but after a year in salt air they can be !@#$%^ to get off. I think that Racor filters are the best but extra gaskets add more possible leak points, and then there's the hassles with removing the bowl. I just use the OEM style ones like I have for years.

I’m looking at # 802893Q4 which should be for I/0. I’ll run in line from the fuel selector valve to the fuel pump
