My H410 has a Racor R25T which spins on from below. Changing the filter on this is a a pain but doable on the dock, but I could see it being a real nuisance in a rough seaway as you need to drain, use a strap tool to remove, and refill it each time you change the filter.
Were most big Hunter's equipped with this type of filter? I'm surprised that on an offshore boat they wouldn't make having the fuel filter swap simpler by fitting one of the Racor models where the filter gets removed from the top like a 500 series. I'm thinking I will be swapping this out soon as I hate the idea of not being able to change filters quickly in a seaway without making a mess in the aft cabin.
