When space is tight and performance matters, having the right filter can make all the difference. The Mercury Quicksilver Water Separating Fuel Filter (35-8M0079962) steps in exactly where you need it, delivering solid filtration in remote-mounted spots where clearance is practically non-existent. It’s built with the kind of thoughtful design that lets you tuck it into tight compartments without sacrificing performance or durability.

This filter isn’t just about catching the obvious debris. Its high-efficiency media works overtime to trap dirt and water before they have any chance to reach your engine, providing a level of protection that offers peace of mind, whether you’re pushing through salt spray or cruising inland waters. The durable construction stands up to both environments, with materials chosen to resist corrosion and hold up under constant exposure to fuel and moisture.

Out on the water, the last thing anyone wants is to wonder if their fuel system is up to the task. This filter is purpose-built to handle Mercury and Mariner outboards, along with select MerCruiser sterndrives, so compatibility headaches aren’t part of the equation.

What makes it a smart choice:

• Designed specifically for remote-mounted applications with tight clearance.
• Captures water and fine particles before they reach sensitive engine components.
• Built with marine-grade materials for long-lasting performance in freshwater or saltwater.
• Maintains reliable fuel flow without restricting performance.
• It matches OEM fit and performance and integrates seamlessly into existing systems.

For anyone running Mercury power, keeping the fuel clean isn’t optional — it’s essential. This filter makes it easier whether you’re maintaining a workhorse engine or fine-tuning your weekend cruiser.
