Yamaha Separating Filter

Every Yamaha motor needs a 10-micron fuel and water separating filter. Because the filter is so essential, it needs to be checked for signs of wear and tear every three to six months. This month formula corresponds to approximately 50 to 100 hours of outboard use.

The filter is not only important during the summer months; it is also an important piece of the winterization process. Without a functioning separating filter the outboard can suffer damage when not in use. Next time you replace your Yamaha 2M oil, remember to take a peek at the separating filter, too.
