The Yamaha 69J-24501-10 fuel filter (also known as an in-line filter) is a crucial component of the fuel system on Yamaha’s 4-stroke V6 outboards. Installed between the fuel tank and the engine (under the cowling), this filter cleans all gasoline before it reaches the high-pressure pump and injectors. Its translucent plastic housing allows owners or technicians to inspect the filter’s condition – observing any trapped debris or water inside. The genuine Yamaha 69J filter ensures proper fit and roughly 10-micron filtration, catching the finest contaminants. In high-horsepower engines like the F150–F250, clean fuel is critical: a clogged or saturated filter can result in power loss at high RPM. That’s why Yamaha recommends replacing this filter regularly (typically every 100 hours or annually). Replacement is straightforward – simply disconnect the inlet and outlet fuel hoses, remove the old filter and install the new one, then secure the hoses with clamps.
Use Cases & Recommendations (EN):
- Intended for Yamaha F150, F200, F225, F250 V6 4-stroke outboards – commonly mounted on larger boats 20–26 ft (offshore fishing vessels, family cruisers, etc.) where reliable high-speed performance is required
- Replacing this filter routinely ensures smooth operation at full throttle and quick acceleration; it’s recommended to change it before each boating season and during scheduled maintenance to prevent fuel starvation of the engine under heavy load
