Good video, I like to give the o-ring a light coat of marine grease. It will come off much easier. I use the larger Yamaha filters, they'll fit the same base as that quicksilver. I always change them once a year, its cheap insurance.

No no, oil to lube gasket only.. Always change during fall winterization because any water in the filter could freeze and split the filter wide open and gas will end up in the bilge.

This is how NOT to change your filter. Pull up your dip stick and get a little bit of oil to put on the new filter. And ALWAYS prime the new filter with gas so that you don’t run the fuel pump dry. It will burn out and ruin the pump in seconds. I learned that lesson the hard way.

When I bought our boat and the salesman was running me through all the tips, he really emphasized the importance of changing this filter regularly. Good video, but fill the new filter with gas first.

Whatever is in the top of the filter is the fuel. Water will be at the bottom. It’s heavier than gas. Easy to see on my diesel engine. Dirty water at bottom, pink fuel on top.

would it be better to use a little motor oil on the seal instead of fuel? like an oil filter.. I'd be concerned the gasoline would dry out the seal.

Just wondering why you didn't prime the filter? Is that engine fuel injected? I have a Ford 302 in my boat with a 2bbl Holly and I prime it. Works for me. Nice video!

Didn't want to prime. I was curious how it wouod act it I didn't. It didn't act up much

Hey Chris, I have a 3.0 Mercruiser that I used to take out all the time, it ran great. Last 2 years it's been sitting. I started it last year but ran rough. This year it won't start. Tank is 3/4 full. I haven't changed this filter in 8 years... i know very dumb.. Now im putting new spark plugs, cap and rotor, ignition coil, new plug wires. Also this new filter. Anything else you recommend to get this boat running again?

@Chris Boats I did the Impeller about 3 years ago. Think it would need replacement?

How many hours would you say you want to change this out? Different boat owners will put different amount of hours on their motors each year.

@BigIslandMNMinnetonka 2 жыл бұрын

I recommend the beginning of every year which is most important. I wouod say 100 hours.

Every year during fall winterization. Any water in filter can freeze and cause filter to split/burst. Changing in fall is the safest way to insure it's water free..

Hello, I just got a fuel water separator Quicksilver, and I noticed something rattling inside. Is that normal on these fuel separator filters? I’ve done plenty oil changes with never rattling, not sure fuel separator is different.
