Fuel filter too tight?

Post by Mmurphy88 »

Hey guys. Just finished up my first service on
My own on my CS22. After installing the fuel filter I gave it just a little extra torque after hand tight. After I had wrapped it all up, I noticed it says to hand tighten. Could this be a problem? I don’t want to go back at it in fear of denting it but will if it is a big deal. Boat primed quickly and started right up and ran to running temp with no odd noises. Thanks.
