Installation Guide

1. Safety First: Ensure the engine is completely cool and the ignition is off.
2. Stop Fuel Flow: Turn off the fuel valve to prevent gasoline from leaking.
3. Prepare for Spills: Place a rag or suitable container beneath the existing filter to catch any residual fuel.
4. Disconnect Hoses: Loosen the clamps securing the fuel lines to the old filter and carefully detach them.
5. Note Flow Direction: Observe the arrow on the old filter indicating the direction of fuel flow toward the engine.
6. Install New Filter: Position the new filter so its flow arrow matches the direction of the old one.
7. Secure Connections: Re-attach the fuel lines to the new filter and tighten the clamps securely.
8. Check for Leaks: Turn the fuel valve back on, prime the engine if necessary, and carefully inspect for any leaks before starting the engine.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I confirm this fits my engine?

A: This filter fits specific Honda 4-stroke outboards (35-90 HP, 1997–2006). To guarantee fitment, please review the detailed "Compatible Engine Models" table and match your engine's model and year. Verifying that your current filter uses the OEM part number 16900-SA5-004 is the most reliable method.

Q: What are the signs of a clogged fuel filter?

A: Common symptoms include the engine sputtering or bogging down at high speeds, difficulty starting, rough idling, or a general loss of power. A clogged filter restricts fuel flow, starving the engine of the gasoline it needs to run smoothly.

Q: How often should I replace the fuel filter?

A: For preventative maintenance, it is recommended to replace the fuel filter at least once per season or every 100 hours of operation, whichever comes first. Refer to your outboard's service manual for Honda's specific maintenance interval.
