Yes you do and no it isn't.

I have ZERO mechanical skills and I could prob do it myself.

To store for winter, add some stabil to the gas as well.

But to combat e10 water issues on an ongoing basis. racor is what you need.

When you do get a water separator, make sure you get the one with the clear bowl on the bottom.  With that, you can see if there is any water in the fuel.  The water will separate and settle to the bottom of the bowl.  It can then be drained out without removing the filter.  Saves time and money.  It is also good for peace of mind when you look and see clean fuel in the bowl and no separation.  t^

MDR makes a product called EZORB which is claimed to reabsorb water that has separated from the gas so that it can be burned out through the engine. I read a field test report in the Fisherman which claimed that it works.  Found it in West Marine.
