3. Push in on the fuel hose release tabs and disconnect the fuel hoses from
the fuel filter.
a - Fuel hose release tab
b - Low‑pressure fuel filter
Installation
1. Install the new fuel filter so the arrow points toward the engine.
2. Connect the fuel hoses to the fuel filter securely with the locking hose
connections.
3. Visually inspect for fuel leakage from the fuel filter while turning the
ignition key to "RUN" position, forcing fuel into the fuel filter. Repair any
fuel leaks found.
Corrosion Control Anode
The outboard has corrosion control anodes at different locations. An anode
helps protect the outboard against galvanic corrosion by sacrificing its metal to
be slowly eroded instead of the outboard metals.
Each anode requires periodic inspection, especially in saltwater which will
accelerate the erosion. To maintain this corrosion protection, always replace
the anode before it is completely eroded. Never paint or apply a protective
coating on the anode as this will reduce effectiveness of the anode.
