What are your thoughts on the non OEM after market filters? I'm specifically talking about the fuel and air filters. The price difference between the two are around $30-$35 difference, I don't mind paying the higher price but not if the after market are just as good. This is for a 90HP 2 stroke Optimax.
This is the style filter:

Just don't. Use either Mercury or Quicksilver (which is Mercury) for your engine.

Somebody makes them for Mercury, I would use filters from a reputable manufacturer.
Strongly recommend the OEM components, especially in this area.
And if there's a $30 difference in price on a filter... that's got to be one REALLY, REALLY "cheap" filter!

I see people filling up a $20,000 motor with ethanol gas, scratch my head every time.
