Troubleshooting & FAQ
How can I confirm this filter fits my specific outboard model?
This filter is designed for Mercury and Mariner 30-60 HP 4-stroke EFI outboards. The most reliable way to confirm fitment is to check that your original part number is 35-879884T or 879884T. You can also review the detailed compatibility table on this page.
What are the signs of a clogged or failing fuel filter?
Common symptoms of a bad fuel filter include difficulty starting the engine, rough idling, stalling at low speeds, reduced engine power, and poor acceleration. The translucent bowl on this filter also allows you to visually inspect for water or debris accumulation.
How often should this fuel filter be replaced?
As a general maintenance guideline, you should replace your fuel filter annually or every 100 hours of engine operation, whichever comes first. However, always consult your engine’s service manual for the manufacturer-recommended maintenance schedule.
Can I clean and reuse this filter?
No. This is a disposable cartridge-style filter. It is designed to be replaced, not cleaned. Attempting to clean it can damage the filter media and will not restore its original filtration efficiency, potentially harming your engine.
What is the difference between OEM and aftermarket parts?
This listing is for an aftermarket replacement part, not an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component. It is built to meet or exceed OEM-level specifications using comparable materials and is manufactured in an ISO 9001 certified facility. Each batch is inspected for quality and consistency.
What are your shipping speeds and costs?
We ship worldwide quickly, with typical transit times of 5–15 days for most regions. Standard shipping is free for all orders. Expedited shipping options may be available at checkout, depending on your location.
