fuel filter / water seperator

[rob v]

I have a merucry optimax 115 and I,m looking to add a small kicker (honda 7.5 4 stroke). In trying to kill two birds with one stone I was thinking of adding a fuel filter/water seperator which would help to filter my fuel further and seperate any water while at the same time giving me a convenient way to tie into the main fuel system. The unit I was looking at was made by a company called seasense.

 

Will the extra filtering cause undue straing on my fuel system/fuel pump and potential damage/poor performance ?

 

Should I remove the existing fuel filter systems on my motors if I put this system in ?

Any suggestions from anyone who uses them would be appreciated. thx.

Lots of the bass boat guys run these systems. Can't think of I Yammaha that doesn't have 1.

don't tamper with the filtering system on the motor itself just install the fuel water separator and your good to go look at my post i did on your other thread you made http://www.ofncommunity.com/forums/index.p...c=31401&hl=

Thanks Henry - I did refer to that info on the other post but it didn't really get into my question as to whether you needed to modify the engine's original filtering system - looks like you don't have to.

When mounting these things do you ususally just find the most convenient place or should it be protected from the elements ? I looks pretty "weather resistant" .
