SERVICING YOUR OUTBOARD MOTOR

Fuel Filter/Water Separator

Inspection and Service

The fuel filter is located near the

engine cover latch on the boat side.

Water or sediment accumulation in

the filter can cause loss of power or

hard starting. To prevent engine

malfunction, inspect the filter and

replace when necessary.

A red ring float is located inside the

strainer cup. It floats on top of the

water and indicates how much water

has accumulated in the strainer cup.

1. Remove the engine cover (p. 80)

and disconnect the fuel tank hose

assembly connector from the fuel

tank.

Gasoline is highly flammable and

explosive, and you can be burned

or seriously injured when

handling fuel.

• Stop the engine and let it cool

before handling fuel.

• Keep heat, sparks, and flame

away.

• Handle fuel only outdoors.

• Wipe up spills immediately.
