Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I confirm this filter fits my specific engine?

The most reliable method is to match your old part number to one listed in our Part Number Matrix. Additionally, you can find your engine’s model and year in the detailed compatibility tables above. This part is designed for Yamaha 15-25HP 4-stroke outboards (2005–Present) including F15, F20, F25, and T25 series.

What are the common signs of a clogged fuel filter?

Symptoms of a failing fuel filter include the engine struggling to start, hesitating under acceleration, running rough at idle, stalling, or a noticeable loss of power, especially at high RPMs.

How often should this fuel filter be replaced?

For preventative maintenance, it's best to follow the replacement schedule in your outboard's official service manual. As a general guideline, replace the primary fuel filter every 100 hours of operation or at least once per season, whichever comes first.

Is this the only fuel filter on my Yamaha outboard?

This is the primary fuel filter element located on the engine. Your fuel system may also have other filters, such as a larger boat-mounted fuel/water separator filter assembly installed between the fuel tank and the engine. Both should be serviced regularly.

Is this an OEM Yamaha part?

This listing is for a high-quality aftermarket replacement, not an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part. It has been engineered to meet or exceed OEM specifications for fit, form, and function using comparable materials. All parts are made in an ISO 9002 certified facility and are batch-inspected for quality control.

How fast is shipping?

We ship worldwide, with most orders arriving in 5–15 days via standard shipping. Expedited shipping options may be available at checkout depending on your location. Standard shipping is free for most destinations.
