The main raw water filter on our boat has a metal lid with a large square socked for removal. Does someone make a tool that fits this?
 
Ours accepts a standard 1/2 drive extension. Also, ours has two tabs across from each other on the lid. A small bar or screwdriver can be laid across those and used to remove the cover as well.

Mine has never been "extra tight" so a reasonable amount of force it all it takes to loosen it.

I hope that helps!!

Perfect, thanks Rocky. I thought it might but it appears bigger than that. I’ll try it this afternoon.
 
Be sure to lube the O-ring when you reassemble.
 
Thanks for all the great advice. I’ll get some lube before I open it. Sounds like I should have an extra o ring on hand as well. Anyone have a size or part number handy?
