Does anyone have any pictures

Does anyone have any pictures of the fuel filter position for this boat? I have one that has been in storage for 7 years and it appears to be real close to the deck. It overhangs about 2 inches out of the engine compartment over the floor. Is this normal or has the engine shifted? How close should the filter be to the deck.
 
" I dont think there is a set

" I dont think there is a set position for the filter, anywhere between the tank & engine as long as it is securely fixed and well away from heat & moving parts (you dont want a broken belt within striking distance), also consider ease of replacement. I have recently fitted a water seperator next to the fuel tank under floor. Anything that protrudes above the deck can be easily damaged and the consequences obvious. Aldo "
