- Position the new filter with the flow arrow pointing towards the engine (away from the fuel tank).
- Connect the fuel hoses to the new filter and secure them firmly with the provided clamps.
- If your engine has a primer bulb, squeeze it several times until it feels firm to fill the new filter with fuel.

Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this filter fits my engine?
This filter is designed for many Mercury/Mariner 30-200 HP outboards and other engines using a 5/16" fuel line. To confirm fitment, first check your model against the compatibility table. Second, cross-reference your existing part number with the numbers in our Part Number Matrix.
What is the recommended replacement interval?
For optimal engine performance and protection, we recommend replacing your inline fuel filter annually or every 100 hours of operation, whichever comes first. This interval can be shorter if you frequently use fuel of unknown quality.

Common symptoms include the engine hesitating, sputtering, having difficulty starting, running rough at idle, or experiencing a loss of power at high speeds. If you notice these issues, a blocked filter is a likely cause.
