Quicksilver Fuel Element Assembly 35-809100

Quicksilver Fuel Element Assembly

The Quicksilver 35-809100 Fuel Element Assembly is a high-performance water-separating fuel filter engineered for MerCruiser and Volvo Penta inboard marine engines. Designed to protect engine fuel systems from water contamination and particulate matter, this filter delivers reliable filtration at a 10-micron rating with a maximum flow capacity of up to 90 gallons (341 liters) per hour. The included reusable metal bowl is constructed to comply with U.S. Coast Guard regulations, offering both durability and peace of mind on the water.

This filter assembly is compatible with all MCM/MIE models, with one noted exception: 1992 MCM 4.3L Gen II engines that are equipped with an inline fuel filter are not compatible. The spin-on design allows straightforward installation on existing MerCruiser and Volvo Penta inboard setups, though installers should verify clearance before fitting, as clearance issues may occur in certain configurations. The filter can also be mounted to filter bracket 89876A 3 for added installation flexibility.

As part of the Mercury Quicksilver family, this fuel element assembly is the premier OEM replacement part, ensuring the same quality and performance as the original equipment. It is intended for gasoline use only and is listed as a current part by the manufacturer. An equivalent aftermarket part is available from Sierra Marine under part number 18-7929. Sourced in the United States, this filter carries a shipping weight of approximately 1.57 lb.
