Performance & Real-World Benefits

The 802893T water-separating filter helps protect your engine from the two biggest threats to performance — water and fuel contamination. Its high-efficiency filter media captures harmful particles while allowing steady, unrestricted fuel flow.

By keeping your fuel clean and dry, it improves combustion, prevents injector wear, and reduces the risk of corrosion or stalling. Regular filter changes are one of the simplest and most cost-effective ways to maintain your engine’s health and reliability.

Why Choose Mercury OEM

The Quicksilver 802893T is a genuine Mercury Marine replacement filter, designed and tested to match OEM flow and filtration standards. Off-brand filters may fit but can restrict fuel flow or fail to properly separate water, risking damage to injectors or fuel pumps.

Mercury’s OEM filters are built for marine conditions — tested under high moisture, vibration, and temperature stress. Choosing OEM ensures your engine runs cleaner, performs better, and stays protected longer.
