There is nothing flashy about a fuel filter, but when it does its job right, you feel the difference immediately. The engine fires without hesitation, the throttle responds the way it should, and you never catch that uneasy sputter that can ruin an otherwise perfect morning. The Quicksilver 8M0146203 Water Separating Fuel Filter gives you that calm sense of reliability — the confidence that your engine is breathing clean, dry fuel no matter what the lake, river, or bay throws at you.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eTen-micron filtration designed to capture harmful debris and water before it reaches your engine\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eOutboard filter element without the clear plastic bowl\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eProvides more than ninety percent efficiency for consistently clean fuel delivery\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eSpins directly onto Quicksilver filter heads with standard 11\/16-16 threads\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eBuilt to meet Mercury Marine original equipment specifications for durability and performance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eEngine \u0026amp; Boat Compatibility\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eFits Mercury 35 and 40 horsepower Electronic Fuel Injection Jet outboards (serial 1C453840 and up)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eFits Mercury 40–115 horsepower Electronic Fuel Injection outboards (serial 1C453840 and up)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eFits Mercury 115 horsepower Pro XS outboards (serial 2B225488 and up)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eFits Mercury 135 and 150 horsepower FourStroke outboards (serial 1B905505 and up)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eWorks with any boat-mounted filter head using 11\/16-16 threads\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eCommon on center consoles, aluminum fishing boats, pontoons, bay boats, and runabouts\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Practical Benefits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e A good fuel filter is the kind of part you do not think about until you really need it — and that is exactly how it should be.
