Would be a worth-while investment for your motor and piece of mind for you.
Consider the model that incorporates a clear plastic bowl (with a fuel drain pet-cock) below the spin-on filter cartridge. Moeller Marine, Racor, and Sea Choice produce this type. Research for a minimum 10 Micron filtration media which is about standard in the marine industry.
The advantage to the clear bowl is obviously visual inspection of any contaminents (debris,water,etc.) and draining capabilities of such at the filter. Find a suitable location within your motor compartment that is not affected by the motors direct heat since your Whaler is a Jet-Drive in essence it's an in-board.
Happy boating...
