    I have 2 on mine one in the line and one on the motor and
    from the way it looks that still isn't enough. My brand
    new motor isn't running because of what looks like a stuck
    float. I will know more on Wednesday when the mechanic
    comes to look at it. The filters won't stop everything.
     I purchased a water seperator filter today and that is
    what I am told is the only way to go. Because they have a
    much finer filter and let the water and other junk go to
    the bottom of the filter they do a much better job. My
    only hope now is that there was some kind of defect in the
    needle and seat that caused this so it will be covered
    under warranty but chances are I made about a $250 dollar
    mistake. Yes I could take the carb apart myself and fix
    it but then I have the chance that something I did would
    void the warranty.

    Any outboard should have a small inline
