The filter element uses a 10 micron rating to catch fine debris and moisture that can cause corrosion, hesitation, and injector wear over time. Its housing is finished in blue and includes the sensor port so boaters can monitor water accumulation without disassembling the filter. This filter is built to fit Mercury V6 EFI outboards from 1996 and up, making it a direct-fit replacement for boaters running EFI-equipped Mercury V6 powerheads who need to swap out a worn or contaminated separator. It functions as an equivalent to the Mercury Quicksilver 18-7968 fuel water separator, matching the same 10 micron filtration performance and sensor-equipped configuration. Installation follows the same in-line service procedure as the OEM unit it replaces, so no modification to existing fuel lines or mounting brackets is required. Engineered Marine Products manufactures this filter to OEM standards for both original equipment and marine aftermarket use, giving boat owners a reliable, competitively priced option for routine fuel system maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engineered Marine Products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 35-37806\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicron Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 micron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Included (water-in-fuel sensor)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mercury V6 EFI, 1996-Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Cross-Reference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 35-18458Q4, 35-184585\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.03 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.51 x 5 x 3.66 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExterior Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Machined\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 840080415918\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMercury V6 EFI, 1996-Up\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e35-18458Q4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e35-184585\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the 35-37806 fuel water separator filter fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e This filter is designed to fit Mercury V6 EFI outboards from 1996 and up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this filter include a water-in-fuel sensor?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 35-37806 comes with an integrated sensor so you can monitor water accumulation in the fuel without removing the filter housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat micron rating does this fuel filter use?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is rated at 10 microns, which filters fine particulates and separates water from fuel before it reaches the engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 35-37806 equivalent to a Mercury Quicksilver part?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is built as an equivalent to the Mercury Quicksilver 18-7968 fuel water separator, matching its 10 micron rating and sensor-equipped design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich OEM part numbers does the 35-37806 cross-reference?\u003c\/strong\u003e It cross-references Mercury part numbers 35-18458Q4 and 35-184585.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the fuel water separator filter weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 35-37806 weighs 1.03 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of this filter?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 35-37806 measures 5.51 x 5 x 3.66 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the filter housing?\u003c\/strong\u003e The housing is blue and includes the sensor port for water detection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a genuine Mercury part or aftermarket?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 35-37806 is manufactured by Engineered Marine Products as an aftermarket unit built to OEM standards, not a Mercury-branded part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this filter be installed without modifying existing fuel lines?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, since the 35-37806 is designed as a direct-fit equivalent for Mercury V6 EFI outboards, it installs using the same in-line fuel system setup as the unit it replaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat finish does the filter housing have?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 35-37806 has a machined exterior finish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EMP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991288885467,"sku":"EMP-35-37806","price":19.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/EMP_35-37806_Mercury_Water_Separating_Fuel_Filter__20293.1722497341.500.750.jpg?v=1785188017","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/fuel-water-separator-with-sensor-replaces-mercury-35-18458q4-fits-mercury-v6-efi-1996-up-10-micron","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
