Your boat came with a primary Racor filter? I had to add mine in when
I bought it 10 years used. Only had the engine spin-on fuel filter to
start.
Mine did come with a strainer on the engine salt water intake right
above the seacock. I think that came in around '85...

Alon, The way I change filters is I change the primary Racor filter
first and empty the housing to ensure no water or gunk is left in the
bottom of the filter housing. I then top off the housing with diese
lfuel before I screw on the top. I then start the engine to make sure
the line is clear and there is no air in the lines. I run it for a
couple minutes and shut it off. Then I remove the secondary filter on
the engine. Before I replace the new one I fill the new filter with
diesel fuel and screw it in place. I then loosen the bleeder screw and
have my wife turn on the ignition to start the fuel pump which pumps
fuel into the secondary filter while displacing the tiny amount of air
left. As soon as fuel comes I quickly close the bleeder valve. After
you do it a couple times it becomes easier. I again start the engine
to confirm that all air is out and everything is OK.

Do you have to bleed the system to change the fuel filter also?
Anyone know were i can get the universal 18 manual?

The clicking sound is your electric fuel pump. That's a good
thing. And, as said by others, you will have to bleed the air
out of your fuel system if you ran out. Turn on your ignition
then your by pass valve and let the electric fuel pump click a
way for a few minutes. Then close off the by pass valve and
you should hear the electric pump ticking decrease to a much
slower rate as pressure builds up. Try starting again. If it
won't fire you will have to bleed the air out of your high
pressure injector lines before trying again. Someone here will
tell you how to do that if needed.
