Verado 300 - extra fuel filter?

[prepsdk]

Hi all,

Have any of you installed an extra fuel filter like the Mercury High Capacity Fuel Filter in front of your Verado's?

I remember Don advising against it on the Opti's, but how about the Verado's?

Depends on WHAT Verado we are discussing (specifically). Later Verado models REQUIRE an external filter. If you want to add an external filter on an earlier Verado, the filter inside the cowling should be removed and replaced with a straight-bypass connection.

Engine Serial Number is the determining factor on which way the engine came (originally).

Thanks for the answer Don.

How about a 300 Verado 1B717200?

You would have to bypass the engine-mounted filter (and replace with the 8M0114618 filter Kit, as an example).
