Which fuel filter separator?

[island man]

I have a new 2010 150. Water separators are rated by gph. How many gph does a 150 use? What size connections do I need, I see 2 size options. Also I would like the clear bowl on the bottom.

Generally your motor will burn about 12 to 15 gallons per hour at wide open throttle, but go to: Yamaha Outboard Performance Bulletins for more detailed information regarding MPG, GPH, MPH for your boat/motor combination. The finer the filter, the more quickly the flow rate(GPH)will be effected by water/dirt/debris, so your unit needs to be oversized to allow for this and not create a restriction/lean fuel condition. Good Luck!

I use the 2-micron Racor. The high pressure pump screen and fuel injectors use a 2-micron so it only makes sense.
