I have a boat on order with a 2019 Mercury Pro XS 4-stroke 115 coming in soon I hope.
On my old 2005 4-stroke 60, it wasn't recommended but I still had one for peace of mind. Now that I'll have a warranty, I don't want the filter to cause any issues.
I was thinking of a Moeller assembly again. Or is there one already under the cowling?
Engine # 2B672959

Free pass on the serial number this time since it's "coming in".Originally Posted by BoatNoobie
Mercury DOES recommend an External Filter Kit for the 115 Fourstroke- it's a Racor with Water-in-Fuel Warning and harness.
Normally if the boat and engine were ordered together it would come rigged as recommended- but it's good you're not "assuming" that it will be.

I just got my email. It's in transport and should be here in a few day. Dealer provided serial numbers. Updating original post to comply with rules, lol.
Curious about recommended Racor kit.
The boat and motor are rigged at the factory, Vexus. I haven't seen any evidence of them adding the water separater. I'll look for 1 when I pick it up.
Does it look like your standard w/s assembly? Is there a specific one manufacturers are suppose to use?
The best recommendation would be Part# 8M0109543, which is a complete kit and looks like this when unboxed:
