Quicksilver 755SD — System & Component Overview and Operaon
The use of fuels containing ethanol higher than 10 percent
(E-10) can damage your engine and/ or fuel system and will

E85 FUELS COULD SERIOUSLY DAMAGE YOUR ENGINE AND
MUST NEVER BE USED.
Fuel Filters
Mercury already provided the appropriate level of ltraon to protect the engine from debris. The
addion of another in-line lter to the system will create a possible ow restricon that can starve the
engine of fuel. As a precauon, it is advisable to carry extra on-engine lters in case lter plugging
from debris becomes a problem during boang.
For vessels powered by an L6 Verado, Mercury provides an approved, externally mounted fuel lter
for use in your boat. The lter is located on the starboard side of the vessel and can be access via the
cockpit oor hatch. The lter is connected to the SmartCra
TM
instrumentaon and will warn you
when maintenance is required. For more informaon, refer to the engine manufacturer’s manual in
your owner’s manual package.
Maintenance
Periodically inspect for the presence of water in the fuel tank. If any is found, all water must be
removed and the tank completely dried before relling the tank with any fuel containing ethanol.
Storage
Long periods of storage and/or non-use, common to boats, create unique problems. When preparing
to store a boat for extended periods, of two months or more, it is best to completely remove all fuel
from the tank. If it is not possible to remove the fuel, maintaining a full tank of fuel with a fuel
stabilizer added to provide fuel stability and corrosion protecon is recommended.
