Although many folks know the importance of changing the oil and oil filter on their performance boats, fewer understand its also crucial to change the fuel filter. Because they operate in watery environments, marine fuel filters face even more challenges than filters on land-based engines. In addition to removing contaminants from your boats fuel, a good marine fuel filter will separate water out so it doesnt get into your engine.

This filter is also often found on early Mastercraft boats with throttle body injection or the Corvette LT1 engine. The Indmar OEM replacement filter is now being used also on 2013 and newer indmar with in-tank fuel pumps located in line on the engine.
