- This video covers the how-to and tips for replacing both the fuel filters on the Mercury ProXS motors. There are actually a considerable numbers of motors where this can be applied, like the SeaPro, 4-stroke, and other ProXS motors, from 65 horsepower to 115 horsepower.
Excellent job! Very thorough and detailed step by step instructions. I’m a visual person so this was just perfect for me. Thanks again for a great video. One of God’S gifts to you has been the gift to teach.
Wow that is incredible feedback! Thank you so very much! I love helping people and I have done LOTS of teaching in a previous job. Thank you again!
What a job that was huh? Gotta hand it to you the the little details like fuel hose clamps, electrical connections etc help prepare the next guy for the same job. Kudos man!
Thanks dude 😎. Lots of people don’t need that level of detail but there are also lots of people who do and I enjoy helping!
Great video. Thanks
Thank you for the compliment! 😀
This was amazing. Thanks for making this! You saved me about 500$.
I love to hear it. Thank you so very much!!!!
thanks for taking the time to explain the process...
Thank you for watching ❤️
Excellent videography, procedure and explanation! I need to replace that filter on my engine and wondering (after watching your cowling removal video) if the cowling can be separated enough, without removing the rigging, to gain access to where the fuel line meets the rail. If so, do you think there would be ample room, once the cowling is pulled away without fully removing it, to:
1. remove the Oetiker clamp
2. wrangle the fuel line off of the fuel rail
3. replace the filter, reattach and clamp the fuel line
Seems like if you have to go through all of the steps to split the cowl, it might be a whole lot less time and effort to eliminate all of the steps to remove the fuel rail.
Thank you for the compliments! I did not have to actually
Remove the rigging at all, other than that cover and that was just to get easier access to the one bolt. I hope I understand your question. I was able to pull the case far enough apart to do all of those things you mentioned! 😀
@@PaulsOutdoorAcademyThanks for the quick reply… just to be sure I understand, you can split the lower cowl without removing the rigging far enough to access the fuel line connects the hose rail to replace the “pencil” filter WITHOUT having to remove the fuel rail?
@timjs123 sorry I didn’t understand that part. So you are trying to avoid removing the rail. I will say this, it was very difficult to get the hose off of the rail, even when I had it off completely. You could try while leaving it installed but I would worry that when you are apply
Twisting motions to the gas line, you will be putting too much force on the rail. I am not confident that you can do this without removing the rail but honestly it wasn’t bad.
@@PaulsOutdoorAcademyhi Paul, yes, totally trying to avoid removing the rail. Maybe when I grow up I can be an engineer who gets to put any serviceable components in the most difficult place, oh wait, I’m much too old for that 😂
Thanks so much for time and detailed information!!!
@timjs123 that’s hilarious. My favorite is a vehicle that has to have the motor dropped to change plugs. Boy oh boy that’s crazy 😄
Excellent video!!! Quick question for you...... Did the engine restart right away (after you removed it all, you wouldn't have any pressure in the system)? If not, what process did you go through to restart it?
That’s a great question and I wondered the same thing. Somehow it started right back up. I don’t think there was much pressure on the gas line. Thank you for your compliments and question! 😀
Were you able to find out the actual name of the part, (ie fuel rail filter)? Great video. I just had mine replaced because I was having issues. You are a blessing. I also am a visual person and loved the way you explained the process. God Bless and thank you again.
I really do appreciate your compliments and your comments. It means a lot to me when someone takes the time to let me know how I am doing so I certainly appreciate it. I was able to search online using the phrase, fuel rail, fuel filter, however, I don’t think mercury calls it anything more than just filter.
35-8M0090809. I think this was the part number
@@PaulsOutdoorAcademy Thank you so much
Thanks tanks you save the day !!
That is fantastic. Thank you. The best way to return the favor is to subscribe if you will 😊
great video... looks like i have the same engine as you but mine is on a Triton 18CTX.... what made you swap the high pressure fuel filter... the most info i could find in the manual is that the filter should only be replaced by an authorized dealer.... I also just found the vault axle video... I had a similar problem, but I had to replace the axle after two bolts sheered off on the way home... I was lucky the wheel didn't go it's own way once I exited the interstate...
That filter came with my 300 hour kit and I also thought I found something about it in my maintenance book. I will have to double check.
Yep I had to replace the whole axle or at least chose to go that route Hahahha 😎
@@PaulsOutdoorAcademy I got lucky with the axle... Dexter Marine decided to first send me a new Hub under the 5 year warranty and then once I found the spindle was bent, they sent me a new axle with two new hubs.... I doubt I'll find a better deal than that.... what year is your engine? My engine is a 2018... maybe somewhere before or after they removed/added the high pressure fuel filter steps.... other than the "take it to an authorized dealer" at least in my manual....
@jeffmcc5267 I was VERY blessed for mine to not fall off! Mine is 2019 😎. Good deal on that axle for sure!!!
Hello great Video, I have to replace my number 3 injector is there enough room to pull rail and injectors and swap out the number 3 injector without needing to split the cowl?
You should be able to do that without splitting the case for sure. Remove those 4 main screw/bolts that hold the rail down, remove the 4 silver clips, or leave them on and pull the whole fuel rail and fuel filter assembly. Then you should be able to replace just the one. :)
Great video! I had no idea that a filter was in the fuel rail. Your filter looked pretty dirty even tough is was after the other filter. Did you have issues or just changed it as part of maintenance?
Thank you! Just part of the 300 hour maintenance!! 😎
@@PaulsOutdoorAcademy Wow, didn't know it was part of the 300 hours service. Good to know
Yep and kind of a pain 😃
Question, I have to replace my number 3 fuel injector. Do I have enough room to pull the rail and injectors and swap out the number 3 injector without splitting the cowl?
You should be able to do that without splitting the case for sure. Remove those 4 main screw/bolts that hold the rail down, remove the 4 silver clips, or leave them on and pull the whole fuel rail and fuel filter assembly. Then you should be able to replace just the one. :)
Is the high pressure filter necessary? I saw another guy do a video saying don’t both replacing it as it’s unnecessary and is the source of lots of problems
I am a stickler for trying to do things according to recommended procedures! BUT I honestly don’t know. If you saw mine it was yellowish but still very usable. It really was a pain to replace. Whatever you decide to do, good luck with it! Thank you for your comments!
Thanks!
@michaelstineman1359 - Thank you so very, very much for your Super Thanks!!!
Please help i just did a service on my engine its the exact same one. I noticed oil on the inside of the cowl. I took the fly wheel cover off. And seen its smoking/coming from the little circular screen
Can you me a image ?
On the VesselView app there isnt a fuel rail filter 300 hour log item. Besides doing it at 300 hours, would there be any other reason tobchange it out? Seems like a lot of work 😮
That is a great question. If you looked at the video where I actually have the fuel rail filter in my hand, you’ll notice how dark yellow it is and this is running very well, known, good, branded fuel I don’t know if it was really necessary, but I am glad I did it. Thank you for your comments.
@PaulsOutdoorAcademy I did notice the darkness. I have 163 ours on my engine, so I may wait for that 300 hours. I looked up how to change spark plugs (viewed your spark plug video) because wanted to check them due to a slight misfire or bump in the speed cruising down the lake the other day. I'll replace my fuel filter (it's a year old) and I checked the prop, etc., already. Your video gives me confidence in removing and replacing the plugs. Thanks!
You can do it! I’m glad you liked the videos. Thank you very much for the comments!
@PaulsOutdoorAcademy I did the spark plug inspect today. All went well. They appeared to be okay, so I reinstalled them. Your tricks and tips worked beautifully!
That is fantastic to hear. Thank you so much!!!
Awesome thank u
You are very welcome!!!
Always purge the fuel rail after this service you can buy tool for 40 bucks harbor freight.
@@clhbrickhouse good info! Thank you
Excellent video!!! Quick question for you...... Did the engine restart right away (after you removed it all, you wouldn't have any pressure in the system)? If not, what process did you go through to restart it?
It definitely restarted right away!
