CHECKING ENGINE MOUNTED FUEL FILTER

As part of select outboards under the motor shroud
(engine cover) on the lower port side of the outboard
engine is a fuel fi lter. Periodically check to ensure the
fuel fi lter is clean and free of water. When reinstalling
the fi lter tighten to manufacturer's specifi cations.
Check for leaks after starting the engine. For more
information refer to the outboard manufacturer's
owners manual or contact a Regal dealer or marine

to hug the bottom since it is heavier than fuel and
will show a different color. At least yearly or on an
