Pontoon Boat & Deck Boat Forum

I had some problems with my 2007 60 hp Bigfoot EFI merc last week. I found water in the fuel filter, let me correct that, I had more water than fuel in the filter The "worhtless Bowers marine dealer" did not have any filters in stock. So I dried the filter, and went to Walmart and bought an inline filter for a temp fix. Icleaned out the engine fuel filter and cleaned the bowl very good. Installed the inline filter on the system and the engine has run like a clock since then, like it should have. The original problem was when I went to full throttle the engine would die. It did get me back to my camp site where I could do repairs. My question is what water/fuel seperator is everyone using that seems to work for them. I will mount the unit myself. Availability is a must when it comes to the filters. But I am looking for what has worked best to the memebrs here? I will make sure that the filter is changed annually with the oil and other filters on the system each season before use.

this is the one I am running,
got in amazon, but the filters are available widely.

Just that amazon has it cheaper and I dont have to go on a 30 min drive to find one.

I have a sierra brand. Always keep a spare filter on the boat, just in case.

Agreed, always keep a spare. I have a spare seperator and fuel filter in the boat, along with the spare prop(s) and impellor/housing. That way I'm pretty much covered on our long trips.

thsi is mine. not sure what brand but it was on the boat when I bought it and walmart has the filters

Thanks everyone for your input. It looks like I will do some shopping for one. I know that Attwood makes them and sell at Wally world. I will also look at the serria withthe see through bowl.
