Fuel Filter/Water Separator

The fuel filter (inside the strainer cup)
is located under the engine cover 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, check and replace the
fuel filter periodically.
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.
Inspection interval:
Every 100 operating hours or 6
months.
Replacement interval:
Every 400 operating hours or 2 years
