You can usually pry them open by putting the flat end of a screwdriver under one of the knuckles and turning it. Alternatively you can buy a clamping tool made for the job, but if you’re only using them on three clamps……………

P.S. don’t replace them with jubilee clips but get hold of fuel clips. They may look similar but they are not!

I was planning on fitting the Beta kit, but it goes on the forward end of the engine, a good place for it on most boats, but hidden under the battery box on Jazzcat, and I'm a great believer in having fuel filters easily accessible. Can anyone see any disadvantages to having the fine filter in the line just after the main filter/ water trap?
Second musing: Using a fine filter as the main one, and not bothering with the secondary might mean it's more likely to clog, but having a pair in parallel where they're easy to change would mean this is much less of an issue. Thoughts?

The only 'problem' I can see with both those options is that the existing on-engine filter remains in place and is therefore capable of clogging and causing trouble.
I don't know if Beta would sell you a kit, similar to the relocation kit but capable of bulkhead mounting. It would be worth giving them a call. I'm sure, in the Kubota world, such a system must exist.
