Unlock and remove the engine
cover for access to the fuel pump
filter.
Inspect the filter for water and/or
sediment accumulation.
If the filter is OK, reinstall it. If
water and/or sediment are present,
replace the filter as described in
the following steps. Always
replace the filter at the scheduled
replacement interval (p.
).
Remove the fuel tubes from the
used filter, and discard the filter.
Disconnect the fuel hose connector
from the outboard motor, and
place clamps on the fuel tubes on
each side of the filter to prevent
fuel leakage when the fuel tubes
are disconnected.
To ease tube removal, release the
tube clamps by squeezing the clip
ends together with pliers while
pulling off the tubes.
Install the new filter on the fuel
tubes, with the fuel flow arrow
pointing toward the fuel pump as
shown. Fuel flow will be impeded
if the filter is installed backward.
Connect the fuel tubes to the fuel
filter securely with the tube clamps.
Remove the fuel tube clamps used
to close the fuel tubes.
