The manual really doesn't talk much about the fuel filter and I could find nothing in the recommended maintenace schedule about how often to replace it, or where it is located. It talks about the water separator fuel filter (If installed) which my boat does not have.

From what I gather, the filter is on the bottom of the fuel pump. There is a cup under the pump with a strap that attaches it to the pump, and a small screw in the center. To replace the filter, do you just loosen the screw and remover the straps and cup?

Loosen the screw on the bottom of the fuel pump.Pull the assembly sideways to remove the filter.



Mercruiser Part # for new filter, which comes with a new gasket.35-803897Q-1.

There is also a nylon mesh filter just before the fuel inlet to the car. Just unscrew the flange nut and remove the filter housing to check the filter.
