[C320-list] Remote oil filter

[Robert Seastream]

You could probably orient the filter vertically with a simple 90  
degree male/female threaded fitting.  I considered doing that, but  
figured Yanmar had reasons for orienting the filter horizontally.  I'd  
hate to change it and find out the hard way that there was  
insufficient pressure to ensure proper oil flow.  Dicks'  
recommendation is safest.
