Sierra Fuel Filter 18-7710-1, Replaces Yamaha 68T-24251-00-00, Fits Yamaha 6, 8, F4, F9.9, FT 9.9 HP Outboards

The Sierra 18-7710-1 is an inline fuel filter engineered as a direct replacement for the Yamaha outboard fuel filter, cross-referencing to OEM number 68T-24251-00-00. It installs in the fuel line ahead of the carburetor to trap dirt, rust, and other particulate contamination before it can reach the engine's fuel system, helping protect carburetor jets and fuel pump components from clogging and premature wear. This filter is a routine maintenance item and is commonly replaced as part of scheduled outboard servicing or whenever fuel flow or engine performance seems restricted.

The 18-7710-1 is designed to fit a specific range of Yamaha outboard engines, including the 6 hp (1989, 1992-99), 8 hp (1989-99, 2001-02), F4 (1999-02), F9.9 (1989-95, 1997-99, 2001-02), and FT 9.9 (1988-90) models. Because fitment is tied to these specific model years, boaters should confirm their outboard's model and year against this list before ordering to ensure correct compatibility.
