i'm not sure fresh fuel needs stabil, i could be wrong....

a 10 micron fuel filter kit is about 50 bucks from west marine or academy. just mount the bracket in the splashwell and connect the fuel hose.

the reason i'm running the stabil is because of the fuel and water that will stll be in the tank and fuel lines after i siphon it. Don't think it would hurt it?

I quit Stabil and switched to Seafoam, add a can with your new gas since the injectors probably have varnished by now. Make sure you connect the bulb between the engine and filter (don't ask me why). The only thing you will need with the seperator kit is 4 stainless screws and SS hose clamps. If mounting internally, make sure you can access after bolting to the boat (don't ask me why).

Good Luck

Stabil is for before you set her up.
Seafoam will help clean her out after you gunk her up.
I would definitely siphon all of the gunk out and put in fresh gas and use Seafoam.
That stuff is great.
Stabil is not bad either, if you use it before lay up for the winter.
Or just use her year round and not worry.
