SERVICING YOUR OUTBOARD MOTOR
2. 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. 73).
3. Disconnect the fuel hose connector
from the outboard motor, and place
commercially available hose clips
on the fuel hoses on each side of
the filter to prevent fuel leakage
when the fuel hoses are
disconnected.
4. Remove the fuel hoses from the
used filter, and discard the filter.
To ease hose removal, release the
hose clamps by squeezing the
clamp ends together with pliers
while pulling off the hoses.
5. Install the new filter on the fuel
hoses, with the fuel flow arrow
pointing toward the fuel pump as
shown. Fuel flow will be impeded
if the filter is installed backward.
6. Remove the fuel hose clips used to
close the fuel hoses, and connect
the fuel hose connector to the
outboard motor.
