In-Line Fuel Filter Change Mercury 40/50/60 hp EFI

[@trailtimeszr250]

Its a good thing you dont have a 40hp Merc. I tryed to do mine today. Got the top 2 coil pacs out and replaced the plugs but couldnt get to the last bolt on the bottom pac. The inline filter lives below the bottom pac and is not accesable. Totaly defeated. If i can ever get it out, it will be getting relocated.

The 40 set up is more of a pain for sure.

@@RFishingtx I ended up calling our local small town shop, he was pulling someones pontoon off our lake and stopped by and got it handled. 5 minutes didnt even turn a bolt. I guess i owe him a beer. 😆

I have the 50hp efi four stroke Bigfoot. I can see the sleeved filter but it's much lower with some other bundled lines over it. It really looks like i might need to remove the lower cowl to access it. Does that seem right?

[@RFishingtx]

@@dkwallisI don’t have any experience with the Bigfoot motors but given they have a longer more robust lower unit, that may be the case.

Do I need to pump the priming bulb after installing a new in line filter?

[@RFishingtx]

@stefansimon9366 you can give it a couple squeezes but it’s not necessary.
