Hi all,

Anyone ever have an issue with the fuel filter? This is the first time I have done my own. I bought this filter as it was the listed part number for my engine

OEM Yamaha Outboard Fuel Filter... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00817Z9KA?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

This one is black, the one in there was white. They look identical otherwise but this one just won’t fit and stay. Didn’t know if anyone else has had this trouble or if there is a technique to get it in correctly.

Thanks
