Fuel Filter Element for Yamaha 150–250 HP, Mercury/Mariner 75–225 HP and Suzuki 200–300 HP Outboards

Product Details

This aftermarket primary fuel filter element is designed for installation in the original on-engine filter housing used on selected Yamaha, Mercury/Mariner and Suzuki outboard motors. It is intended to help remove contaminants from gasoline before the fuel reaches the engine.

The element is listed as a replacement for Yamaha 65L-24563-00-00, Mercury 35-888289T2, Sierra 18-7936, Suzuki 15412-93J00 and Johnson/Evinrude/OMC 5035695. Always compare the part number, filter housing and engine model before ordering.

• Direct replacement-style fit for the applicable original filter housing.
• Designed for gasoline applications, including gasoline containing up to E10 ethanol where approved by the engine manufacturer.
• Used as the primary on-engine filter element; water-separation performance depends on the original housing and bowl assembly.
