This may be a dumb question, but it won't be the first time I asked one. 1988 200 hp Mercury Outboard, s/n OB 332898. Just wondering if I can go some place like NAPA and get an in-line fuel filter and use on it, or if there is anything special about a Mercury branded filter. If you recommend a Merc filter, does anyone know the model number? I looked on Mercury Marine parts and I don't see one like what we have, it looks like a little canister rather than the style you see for a riding lawn mower, for instance.
Thanks
