Mercury – Fuel Filter | Filtration Component | Polymer and Mesh Screen | 889527T02

Overview

A good fuel filter doesn’t call attention to itself — it just quietly keeps your engine running the way it should. The Mercury 889527T02 Fuel Filter brings that kind of steady confidence to smaller outboards, protecting them from the moisture and debris that always seem to find their way into fuel tanks. Whether you’re cruising across a calm lake at sunrise or weaving through chop on the way back to the ramp, it’s comforting to know your motor is breathing clean fuel. This filter helps your Mercury powerplant feel smooth, responsive, and ready for whatever the day brings.

Performance & Practical Benefits

This filter does more than catch debris — it helps your engine run smoother, cleaner, and with consistent power. The mesh screen element stops even fine contaminants before they reach the carburetor, protecting the delicate passages inside. That means fewer stumbles, fewer hard starts, and fewer afternoons spent troubleshooting instead of fishing or exploring.

The filter assembly seals tightly with the included O-ring, preventing leaks and keeping fuel flow steady. The bowl and cup design make inspection and replacement simple, even for boaters who handle their own service. Once installed, you’ll notice steadier throttle response and cleaner running at both idle and mid-range power — the zones where small outboards often show the first signs of fuel trouble.

Why Buy OEM

Mercury Marine builds filters that match the flow rate, micron level, and durability their engines require. Aftermarket filters may seem similar, but they rarely deliver the same long-term reliability or the precise fit needed to keep a carbureted TwoStroke running its best. With the OEM 889527T02 filter, you’re choosing a part designed and tested specifically for your engine, protecting performance while reducing long-term maintenance headaches.
