INSTALLATION AND PREDELIVERY
BOAT RIGGING
Fuel Filter Assembly, P/N 174176, meets all
requirements for a water-separating fuel filter.
IMPORTANT:
Avoid using “in-line” fuel filters.
The filter area and flow characteristics may not be
adequate for high horsepower outboards.
Portable Fuel Tanks
Do not use portable fuel tanks for outboards larger
than 115 HP. Inadequate fuel flow to high horse-
power outboards can result in serious powerhead
damage.
