With the Mercury 8M0082911 Air Filter, you’ll feel that same comfort every time you leave the dock.

Performance & Practical Benefits

A healthy outboard starts with clean air. When the Mercury 8M0082911 Air Filter is doing its job, you’ll feel the difference right away — smoother idle, steady acceleration, and an engine that breathes without hesitation. It provides a tight, secure fit that seals well and keeps dust, sand, and airborne debris from slipping into your intake. That means better combustion, fewer hiccups at low speed, and more confidence when you’re picking up the pace in shallow water or windy conditions.

You’ll also appreciate how easy it is to replace. The filter drops into place without fuss, and the flexible composite body feels durable without being rigid or brittle. Over time, filters naturally start to clog or break down, especially if you run in dusty or salty environments. Swapping in a fresh Mercury Marine part helps keep your fuel system working efficiently and protects expensive internal components. It’s a small act of maintenance that pays off every season you’re on the water.

Durability matters, too. This Mercury filter is designed to hold its shape, resist moisture, and maintain its filtering capability even after hours of use. When airflow remains steady and predictable, your engine responds better — and you feel that steadiness at the helm.

Why Buy OEM

When it comes to air intake, precision matters. Aftermarket filters often let in too much air, not enough air, or — worst of all — the wrong kind of air. An OEM Mercury Marine part ensures your engine is metering airflow exactly the way it was engineered to. You get reliable filtration, proper fit, and long-term protection for your investment. Plus, replacing this part regularly is far cheaper than dealing with fuel system issues or internal wear caused by poor filtration. It’s simply the smart, practical choice for any boater who values performance and peace of mind.
