Re: engine oil filter. Is this hard to change?

I just took my boat in for the 20 hour service and I got a letter from the dealer that the oil filter they used is now recalled. They also told me not to drive the boat until this has been changed because it could cause engine failure. I got the letter after I took my boat to the lake, I did not have any engine problems. Is it hard to change an oil filter? I dont want to waste gas driving my boat to the dealer if I can just pick one up from them and install it myself. Also, do you think driving my boat with the bad filter could have caused some harm to the engine? I own moomba lsv 06, if that helps. Thanks!
