Installation Notes

  1. Turn off the engine and shut off the fuel supply valve.
  2. Place an absorbent rag or container under the old filter to catch any fuel spillage.
  3. Note the fuel flow direction indicated by an arrow on the old filter body.
  4. Carefully loosen the hose clamps on both sides of the filter and twist the hoses off the filter nipples.
  5. Position the new filter, ensuring the flow arrow matches the original direction (typically pointing toward the engine).
  6. Slide the hoses onto the new filter and secure them tightly with the clamps.
  7. Turn the fuel supply back on and check thoroughly for any leaks around the connections.
  8. Prime the fuel system if necessary, start the engine, and perform a final leak check.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if this fuel filter fits my specific Honda outboard?

The best way to confirm fitment is to check your engine's model and year against the compatibility table above. You can also verify by comparing your existing filter's part number to the numbers in our Part Number Matrix.

What’s the difference between this filter and the older 16900-SA5-003 part?

The 16900-SA5-004 is the official superseded part for the 16900-SA5-003. It is the current, genuine Honda replacement and is functionally identical and fully compatible with engines that originally used the older part number.

How often should I replace my outboard's fuel filter?

As a general rule, it's wise to replace your inline fuel filter annually or every 100 hours of operation, whichever comes first. Refer to your Honda owner's manual for the specific maintenance schedule for your engine.

What are the signs of a clogged or failing fuel filter?

Common symptoms include engine hesitation or bogging down at high speeds, difficulty starting, rough idling, or a noticeable loss of power. A visual inspection might also reveal sediment or water in the filter if it has a clear housing, though this model is opaque metal.

OEM vs. Aftermarket?

This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). Built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials. Manufactured in an ISO 9002 facility, batch-inspected for consistency.
