Mercury – Quicksilver Fuel Pump Inlet Screen | Fuel System Component | Stainless Steel Mesh | 59072

Overview

A reliable engine starts with clean fuel flow, and the Mercury Marine 59072 Quicksilver Fuel Pump Inlet Screen is built to keep that flow clean and steady. Designed for Mercury TwoStroke 90–200HP outboards, this fine 100-mesh stainless steel screen traps dirt and debris before it reaches the fuel pump. It’s simple, effective, and built to handle years of vibration, heat, and exposure to fuel without losing its shape or efficiency. It’s a small part that plays a big role in protecting your outboard’s performance.

Performance & Real-World Benefits

The 59072 fuel inlet screen ensures only clean fuel makes it to your pump and carburetor. The fine 100-mesh screen traps particles and rust flakes that can block jets or cause pressure drops, keeping your engine running smoothly and efficiently.

Made from marine-grade stainless steel, it resists corrosion and won’t collapse under pressure like cheaper alternatives. With this screen in place, your fuel system stays cleaner longer — meaning fewer issues, steadier starts, and consistent performance trip after trip.

Why Choose Mercury OEM

The Quicksilver 59072 is a genuine Mercury Marine component, built specifically for Mercury’s TwoStroke fuel systems. Aftermarket filters may use coarse mesh or lower-quality steel, which can allow debris through or degrade quickly in fuel-rich environments.

Mercury’s OEM screen offers precise mesh density, proven durability, and the confidence that comes with factory-tested performance. It’s one of those simple, inexpensive parts that keeps your outboard reliable and efficient for the long haul.
