    I high humidity areas it’s possible to
    get water in your fuel. You might look into a water / fuel seperator. In third world country’s its a mandatory item.

    The fuel/water separator is mounted in the boat as has been mention above. In some cases the fuel filter under the motor cowling would need to be removed. This is based on Mercury’s recommendations. So check with your dealer
