Fuel filter for 2002 60hp efi

[bonapetit2]

Recently acquired a lund with a 2002 60hp elpt efi, serial # 0T523295, just replacing all the maintenance recommended parts and have had a little confusion with the fuel filter. In the manual, and on other sites when I look up the part with the serial # it shows an inline filter encased in a white plastic housing. The filter on the engine has a removable bowl with the filter element inside of it. The filter is available, but says it's for 115hp, 75hp, and 150hp I think. I ordered one of the inline filters thinking I could remove the element but the filter was all in one molded piece. I haven't received the other filter yet but I hope it fits! I'll try and attach a picture.

Did you order part number 879884T? if so it's going to look like this, 879884T | eBay

I don't believe your engine model parts catalog will have a break down for the filter itself as it only shows the assembly.

Look under Fuel Pump, item #15,

Here's the filter element I ordered. Yamaha 68V 24563 00 00 Mercury 881540 75 115 HP 4S Outboard Fuel Filter 18 7979 | eBay
Didn't think I needed to replace the whole filter assembly?.just the element was dirty. Guess if it doesn't fit I'll have order the one you've linked me to.

Though it's not listed in the 40/50/60 EFI (4 CYLINDER) 4-STROKE break down, it should be the same one as it looks similar to the one in manual page 1B-13.

Be sure to let us know, Good luck.

I will, the dimensions were the same, so I'm thinking it will work out.

Well the filter fit perfectly, merc part #881540. Although not listed for my size motor, it's sold for 75-115 hp, ended up saving me a few $$.
