I have mine mounted inside the front of the starboard fuel locker...along with a valve and two input lines. I can still fit 3 X 6 gallon fuel tanks as well as a spare anchor with this configuration. Its been working great for over 10 years with no carb fouling at all compared to the old days before the spin-on filter.

I ended up mounting my fuel water separator on the starboard rear.

Polyester resin was applied to the board for stiffness, water proofing and securing the bolts on the backside.

I always put a clear plastic filter in front of the engine as a visible last ditch trash catch.

I have it INside the motor (merc EFI 2011, 60HP).

So it does not disturb anywhere.
