❓ FAQ
Yes, if the engine runs a 5/16-inch (8 mm) feed line. The filter covers Mercury and Mariner 2-stroke 40/50/55/60 HP and EFI four-stroke 75/80/90/100/115 HP outboards. Compare the part number on the old filter against the cross-reference list before ordering.
They interchange. This filter cross-references Sierra 18-7830, Wix 33012, OMC 398327 and Quicksilver 35-164941, so if any of those numbers is on the filter you are removing, this one fits. It is a 42 micron pre-filter, not the finer element used inside the engine-mounted housing.
Two. The pack holds two 816296Q2 filters, a length of 5/16-inch marine fuel hose and two stainless steel clamps, so one service is covered and the second filter stays on the shelf as a spare.
Toward the engine. Fuel travels from the primer bulb through the filter to the engine, and the arrow moulded on the housing marks that direction. Tighten both clamps after the filter is oriented and check for seepage before the cowl goes back on.
Every 100 engine hours or once a year, whichever comes first. Replace it sooner if sediment is visible in the housing, if the primer bulb stays soft, or if the engine loses power under load.

Description
Product Overview
816296Q2 is a 5/16-inch inline fuel filter for Mercury and Mariner outboards, supplied as a two-filter pack. Each filter mounts under the engine cowl on the fuel line between the primer bulb and the engine, and the housing takes 5/16-inch (8 mm) hose barbs at both ends, so it replaces the factory inline filter without adapters. The element is rated at 42 microns.
It covers the 2-stroke 40/50/55/60 HP engines and the EFI four-stroke 75/80/90/100/115 HP engines that run a 5/16-inch feed line. Because the filter sits upstream of the engine-mounted filter and the injectors, debris held here does not reach the VST screen or the injector inlets. Two filters per pack means one service now and one spare on the shelf, which suits boat owners who change the filter at the start of each season.
