Clean air is just as important to your outboard as clean fuel — especially on high-output engines like the Mercury L4 Verado. The Mercury Marine Powerhead Air Filter - 35-896247 is designed to make sure nothing but fresh air flows into the powerhead, keeping debris, dust, and moisture from finding their way into the system where they could cause damage over time.

This isn’t just another generic filter. It’s built specifically for the L4 Verado, so it fits the powerhead housing perfectly, sealing tight to block out unfiltered air. The filter media itself is engineered to trap fine particles without choking off the airflow your engine needs, striking the right balance between protection and performance — because an engine that can’t breathe can’t perform.

What makes this filter a smart choice:

• Precision fit for Mercury L4 Verado outboards — no trimming, no guesswork
• High-efficiency media captures fine debris without restricting airflow
• Seals securely to keep contaminants out of the intake system
• Built tough to handle both freshwater and saltwater conditions

Ideal uses:

1. Routine air filter replacements to maintain peak performance
2. Extra protection in dusty environments or areas with airborne salt spray
3. Preventive maintenance for high-hour engines or performance-tuned setups

Fresh air in, reliable power out — this Mercury filter does its job so your Verado can do what it was built for.
