Installation Notes

  1. Confirm the engine model, original filter number and filter configuration before beginning work.
  2. Turn off the engine, disconnect the battery and relieve fuel-system pressure according to the engine service manual.
  3. Work in a well-ventilated area away from sparks, flames and other ignition sources. Use suitable fuel-resistant containers and absorbent material.
  4. Remove the original VST fuel filter and note its orientation and connection arrangement.
  5. Install the replacement filter in the same orientation and reconnect all fuel-system components securely.
  6. Prime the fuel system according to the engine service manual, then inspect carefully for fuel leaks before operating the outboard.
