The Mercury Marine 87946Q04 Fuel Filter is a genuine Mercury OEM inline fuel filter element designed to remove dirt, debris, water contamination and other harmful particles from the fuel supply before they reach critical engine components. Installed within the under-cowl fuel filter housing, this filter helps protect carburettors, fuel pumps and fuel delivery systems while maintaining reliable engine performance.
The filter features a fine filtration screen designed to trap contaminants without restricting fuel flow, helping to ensure smooth engine operation, reliable starting and optimum fuel system performance. Regular replacement is recommended as part of routine maintenance to prevent fuel starvation, poor running, hard starting and reduced engine efficiency.
Manufactured to Mercury Marine specifications, the 87946Q04 filter is designed to withstand the demanding marine environment and is suitable for both recreational and commercial applications. The kit typically includes replacement seals and gaskets required for installation.
This filter is commonly used on many Mercury and Mariner outboards fitted with the screw-on under-cowl fuel filter bowl assembly.
