Description
Product Overview
The iFJF 6P3-WS24A-01-00 Primary Fuel Filter Element is a direct replacement for Yamaha 4-stroke outboard engines from the F150 through F350 series. This 10-micron primary filter captures water, sediment, and particulate contaminants before they reach the high-pressure fuel pump and injectors. Maintaining a clean fuel filter is critical in marine environments where fuel quality varies and water contamination is common — a single tank of bad fuel can destroy a set of injectors costing $1,500+ to replace.
Key Features
-
10-Micron Filtration: Captures particulates as small as 10 microns while maintaining full fuel flow at wide-open throttle
-
Water-Separating Media: Hydrophobic filter element repels water droplets, protecting the injectors from corrosion and cavitation damage
-
Low Flow Resistance: Engineered pleat density delivers maximum filtration without restricting fuel volume — critical at 6,000 RPM
-
OEM-Spec Construction: Matches the original Yamaha filter element in every dimension and performance specification

Maintenance Recommendations
-
Replace every 100 hours or annually — whichever comes first
- Replace immediately if the engine-mounted water-separator warning light illuminates
- Always carry a spare filter onboard — fuel contamination on the water is unpredictable
- Inspect the O-ring seal during replacement and lubricate with clean fuel before installation
Installation Guide
- Locate the primary fuel filter housing — typically mounted on the port side of the powerhead, near the fuel inlet
- Place an absorbent rag under the filter housing to catch fuel drips
- Unscrew the filter housing cap (may require a filter wrench on stubborn housings)
- Remove the old filter element, noting its orientation
- Drain any water and debris from the bottom of the housing and wipe clean
- Install the new element — it only fits one way; do not force it
- Lubricate the cap O-ring with clean fuel or marine grease
- Thread the cap back on and tighten firmly — hand-tight plus 1/4 turn
- Prime the fuel system by cycling the key to "ON" (not start) 2–3 times, or use the manual primer bulb
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this fit my 2005 Yamaha F150?
A: This filter is specifically for 2006+ model year outboards. 2005 models use a different fuel system configuration. Check your engine's serial number or the existing filter part number to confirm.
Q: How do I know if my fuel filter is clogged?
A: Symptoms include loss of top-end RPM at wide-open throttle, engine surging, difficulty maintaining speed, and the engine-mounted water-separator alarm activating. If you experience any of these, replace the filter immediately.
Q: Can I use this as a secondary/on-engine filter?
A: Yes. This is the primary filter element for the engine-mounted filter housing. For boat-mounted water-separating filters (Racor-type), use a 10-micron marine canister filter as your first stage of filtration.
Q: What happens if I don't change the fuel filter annually?
A: Ethanol-blended marine fuel (E10) attracts moisture, which promotes algae growth and phase separation. A neglected filter becomes a breeding ground for microbial contamination that can clog fuel lines and injectors — repairs often exceed $2,000.
