Default 502 Oil Filter??

Do your oil filter mount from the top or bottom? I want to run the larger merc filters but they do not fit. I am thinking of flipping the brackets so they mount on top. Do you think this is a good idea? I was told that the top mount is the way it should be. Any suggestions?

My 35 is set up for top mount, I like it better than the bottom mount on my 27. Easier to do oil changes.

If you punch a hole in the top of the oil filter it will drain
the bulk of the oil back into the pan, It will then be less messy
to remove.
