After one time of standing on my head to change the fuel filter on my 2008 38, I talked to the yard mechanic. He said that on another 38 they serviced they found it easier to remove the air filter, then detach the fuel filter from the wall and pull it out for servicing.

Since there was enough fuel hose to do that I asked him why they didn't just relocated the filter to a new location on the wall just under the removable access cover. We decided it was a good idea so I had him move mine. Works great, changing the filter is a piece of cake. No more head stands or major disassembly. It is literally at eye level.

I had the same same problem with my 41 AC. It was mounted high up at the aft of the engine space. I moved it down and to the other side of the bulkhead. It now resides under the vanity in the aft cabin.
