Mercury – Replacement Air Filter | L6 Verado Series | Composite & Foam Element | 893318T02

Overview
There’s a certain comfort that comes from hearing your engine breathe the way it’s supposed to—steady, clean, and confident. When you’re running an L6 Verado, you can feel even small changes in airflow, and that’s why a dependable air filter becomes something you really appreciate. It’s one of those parts that quietly supports every moment on the water, from an easy glide across the bay to those long runs offshore when the air is crisp and the throttle feels light. Knowing your engine is drawing clean, filtered air brings that deep, easy peace of mind boaters chase every weekend.

Performance & Practical Benefits
A clean air filter makes a noticeable difference in how the Verado responds. You’ll feel smoother transitions when easing into idle, quicker throttle pickup when pushing onto plane, and a steadier sound across the entire power range. This filter’s composite frame keeps its shape under heat, while the foam-coated screen captures fine debris without restricting airflow. That balance—clean air without choking the engine—is exactly what keeps the Verado from straining or surging in the midrange.

Long days on the water bring everything into the air: salt mist, pollen, dust from the shoreline, even tiny bits carried by the breeze. This filter helps keep all of that out of the combustion path, protecting your fuel efficiency and long-term engine health. Installation is quick, and replacing it periodically becomes one of those simple chores that rewards you every time you turn the key and hear the motor settle into a clean, steady rhythm.

Why Buy OEM
When it comes to air management, precision really matters. An aftermarket filter may look similar, but tiny differences in airflow or fitment can change how the Verado breathes. With a genuine Mercury Marine part, you know the flow rate matches factory design, the seal fits exactly, and the materials are built for marine conditions. It’s not about spending more—it’s about protecting an engine that’s built to perform. OEM parts last longer, fit cleaner, and help you avoid problems caused by poorly matched components.
