Troubleshooting & FAQ
Does this filter fit all Yamaha F250 outboards?
No. This filter is specifically for Yamaha's 3.3L V6 F250 and LF250 models manufactured from 2004–2005. Always verify compatibility using your engine's full model name and year before ordering. Refer to our compatibility table for a detailed list.
What is the purpose of the included opener tool?
The included opener is a small plastic tool designed to fit the filter cup, providing extra leverage to make removal easier during service, especially if the cup was overtightened or is stuck.
How often should I replace my primary fuel filter?
As a general guideline, most outboard manufacturers, including Yamaha, recommend replacing the primary fuel filter every 100 operating hours or annually, whichever comes first. Refer to your owner's service manual for the exact maintenance schedule for your engine.
What are common signs of a clogged fuel filter?
Symptoms of a failing or clogged fuel filter include engine hesitation, sputtering, loss of power (especially at high RPMs), difficulty starting, or unexpected stalling. If you notice any of these issues, inspect your fuel filter promptly.
Is this a direct replacement for Yamaha part 6P2-24563-00-00?
Yes. This is a direct cross-reference for Yamaha part 6P2-WS245-00-00, which is the official replacement that supersedes the older 6P2-24563-00-00 part number.
