“You don’t hear a lot about protective and
maintenance products, but they really do
improve the life of your outboard motor and
help limit the repairs you see over the years.
It only takes a few minutes to utilize these
products, and the end result can be hours of
saved time, better performance, and longevity
from your outboard motor.”
Capt. Rick Murphy,
for Yamaha Pro Anglers
When used as a fuel additive, ethanol helps reduce hydrocarbon emissions. Ethanol-blended
fuel (E10) contains 10% ethanol and 90% gasoline.
E10 fuel behaves differently than 100% gasoline. The use of E-10 fuel concerns many boaters
because it attracts moisture, dissolves hoses, and sometimes results in an accumulation of resins,
rust, and dirt--especially in older tanks. Even in new engines and tanks, E10 may cause the
formation of a mysterious gooey substance which clogs filters.
To help prevent E10 problems:
9 Keep your fuel tank out of direct sunlight and as full as possible with fresh fuel. This is
particularly important in warm climates.
9 Buy gas from known and trusted sources whenever possible. “Stale” E10 has a higher
water content.
9 Keep your gas tanks clean and inspect them periodically for water and sediment.
9 Check your fuel filter often. Fuel filters help prevent fuel contaminants from entering your
engine. Under certain conditions it is possible for filters to suddenly become clogged, so
always keep an extra filter on board in case you need an immediate replacement.
Most manufacturers recommend a 10-micron “spin-on” filter to best deal
with E10 fuel. Be sure to carry spare filters and a galvanized bucket for
used filters prior to disposal.
Moeller sells the right filters for every application: inboard,
outboard, and inline.
Clear Site10-micron filtration systems with Hydro-Shield protect against water
and contaminants and drain water that collects in the system. The complete
outboard kit, part no. 033314-10, contains everything you need for installation:
a powder coated aluminum filter head, filter, clear water-collecting bowl, barbs,
and plugs. The filter head and collecting bowl are re-useable, and the 10-micron
replacement filters are sold separately. You may also purchase individual components
of the kit.
⚠
CAUTION: NEVER use the Clear Site filter with the clear plastic bowl below deck. The clear bowl is not
ABYC H-24 rated and may result in loss of life or property. Use filters with the powder-coated aluminum bowl
instead: part nos. 033339-10, 0333340-10, and 033337.
