Inline fuel filter

[skindenny]

Can I use a inline fuel filter made for a lawnmower on my boat motor or would it be too small and restrict the gas flow?

I would opt for a water separating filter to be on the safe side
A lawn mower filter will remove the small particles and should work for that as long as in is big enough for the HP motor you have...

That's what I'm using on my 7.5, no problems.

I agree with this.A lawn mower filter will still let fine particles through that can still clog a small carb over time.

Wal-mart sells a filter in the boating section $7/$8 dollars.

Be careful using inline filters that are not designed for gas/oil mixture and are for filtering gas only. It's safer to stick with the stuff designed for outboard use.
