This genuine Quicksilver fuel filter kit is engineered to fit Mercury/Mariner 2-stroke outboards from 6HP to 60HP (approximately mid-2005 models and newer) that use an under-cowl fuel filter assembly. It installs in the engine’s under-hood filter bowl (with the white bowl and black cap) and efficiently cleans the gasoline of water, sediment, and other particles before they reach your carburetor or injection system. By doing so, it prevents issues like rough running, loss of power, or fuel system damage caused by contaminated fuel. The kit comes with a new filter element (screen) and a high-quality Viton rubber seal, ensuring a tight fit and leak-free operation after service.
Using an OEM filter guarantees the compatibility and reliability that the manufacturer intended. It’s recommended to replace this filter regularly (for example, once a year or every ~100 hours) to keep your engine at peak performance and avoid fuel starvation at high rpm. Installation is straightforward – simply unscrew the filter bowl cap, remove the old screen and O-ring, and install the new filter and seal from the kit. Even boat owners with basic skills can perform this maintenance and keep the fuel flowing freely.
- Ideal for small fishing boats, inflatables, and tenders powered by Mercury outboards 6–60HP, where reliable fuel delivery is crucial for trouble-free outings
- Replace regularly: Changing this filter at least each season ensures your engine won’t suffer power loss due to a clogged filter – especially important if you troll at low speeds often or use fuel of variable quality

- Genuine Quicksilver part: By using this OEM kit, you adhere to Mercury’s recommendations and provide maximum protection and longevity for your engine, all while maintaining warranty compliance if applicable
