It's not how many filters you have in line or splitting the line to seperate filters.
10 micron or more is more important.
Most racor filters (the ones with the clear drain bowl) are 10 micron

YUP all the ones I see now are 10 micron.
Very important
However, some engines can be fuel starved using just one 10u filter.

I have two filters and it dosen't restict any flow. Mercs have a filter in the engine, and this season I decided to add another due to the e-10(racor). I can't see any fuel flow issues from last year to this year.

no problems on any of the boats i fish with the new gas.
just keep burning up the fuel.
i think most of the problems come with letting it sit.

Mike, I think that goes for where you get your gas also....all year I have used gas cans..fresh gas from the street....NO problems at all.
my last fill up was at one of the docks in the town river....now I'm starting to see the motor running rougher and harder starting...the filters are new the one on the motor and my racor fuel/water separator....

Time will tell with new fresh fuel this weekend........not from the fuel docks......

This is what the fuel in my fuel filter looked like.....
