Not the 190hp 3bbl Carb version
Mine has a 4bbl Carb, creating 220hpBD
The four barrel carb actually has a small "inline" filter AT the Junction between the carb and the steel fuel line. The BIG nut that attaches the fuel line to the carb has a Small filter hidden inside it. Carefully remove the nut and the filter should pop out. It has a spring behind it.

In the Clymer Mercruiser Manual it looks like a small "Cartridge" type filter. You can get a Clymer Manual at West Marine. (Recommended) NB

PS: Using HEET or DRYGAS at this time will NOT be of any benefit.
