Water/Fuel Separator

[buckstop108]

I have a 1992 85 HP Evinrude backtroller with a 32 gallon tank. Can I install a water / fuel separator on this engine. Any help is welcome.
Thanks

You should be able to. The only issue is that Outboards sometimes have weak fuel pumps. The added resistance of the water seperator caused them to run lean. I installed a Universal Outboard Water Seperator on my '98 Johnson 150HP this spring. I have had zero trouble with it.

they are usually mounted in the splash well, so you don't spill and gas in the boat, when servicing.

Is there a way to check the fuel pump prior to installing? Or is this a take a chance and see what happens deal?
