    Fuel water separator filter housing crack

    Just got home after picking up new fuel water filter, and noticed it has a tiny hairline crack at the very top of the housing, looks like it was dropped as it has a small dent as well in that area.

    Hi, Have a 2007 Kayot Z201, with a Merc 5.0L (Serial 0W672003). Sometimes the boat gets right up on plane (3-5 seconds), and other times it takes 15-20 seconds...with the same load, trim, passengers, everything. Feels like the RPMs are low and the engine isn't reaching full power for some...
