I bolted my filter to an oversized piece of 3/4" Azek then used Velcro to mount it to the starboard side of the well. I left the bolts a little long and made a T-shaped handle with two holes in it to go on the two bolts. This holds everything steady while I change the filter. Ultra Velcro is available at Home Depot. This system has worked well for the last two years. No holes in my boat and can be easily relocated if necessary. See photos on my personal page.
