Every boater knows that smooth days on the water start with an engine you can trust. The Mercury 889527A07 Fuel Filter brings that steady kind of confidence to the smaller outboards so many of us rely on for fishing trips, family cruises, or quiet mornings on the lake.

Performance & Practical Benefits

A good fuel filter doesn’t ask for attention — it just quietly keeps trouble away. This one captures the fine debris and moisture that small TwoStroke engines are especially sensitive to, giving you cleaner combustion and more reliable power throughout the throttle range. You’ll feel the difference in the way the motor settles into a steady idle and how it climbs through acceleration without stumbling or bogging.

The mesh screen element is tough and long-lasting, handling everything from condensation in portable tanks to the occasional bit of dirt that finds its way into a funnel at the ramp. The polymer housing stays secure, even after long days bouncing through chop or running across windy lakes. Installation is simple, and once it’s in place, you’ll rarely think about it — and that’s exactly how a filter should feel.

Why Buy OEM

Mercury Marine parts are built to the exact standards their engines require, especially when it comes to filtration. Aftermarket filters may look similar, but small differences in screen density, flow rate, or fitment can create big problems in a carbureted motor. With an OEM filter, you get the peace of mind that comes from using the part Mercury engineered for your engine. It fits right, performs right, and protects your motor season after season.
