If it's like my 575, the water separating filter is right above the belt driven fuel/water pump. There is another one near the distributor on the high pressure EFI line.

I know where the water seperator is but not the fuel filter.

The white filter above the fuel/water pump is the water separating fuel filter. Fuel goes in and out of the top of this cannister. Since water is heavier than fuel, it should stay to the bottom of the filter/cannister, fuel to the top. It is the also the primary fuel filter. This is the filter Kevin should change.
The 575s have a secondary high pressure filter located above and behind the port valve cover. I am sure the 525 does too, but I am not aware of it's exact location on the motor.

Evan,
I saw you going down the river next to GH Marina. I remember pointing your boat out to my wife because I thought that was the one that just got painted this winter. (Wasit?) It looked sweet! Thanks for the compliments and tell your buddy that too! We ran the boat pretty good that day and it performed excellent. Had a great time. I'll check out the calendar for that run and see if we can make it. I have Chicago planned and weekends get chewed up pretty fast right now if I don;t start making commitments-I'm sure you know the feeling. Hope you guys had a good time there. Thanks again.
