Default is this my fuel pump?

good day all,

I wanted to know if anyone can tell me if this is my fuel pump on my Merc 1500 outboard? if so, where would the filter be?

I am attaching two pics one of the right side of the motor as you look from behind the boat... what I think is the fuel filter is in the "gray" circle. the second picture is a close up...

Thanks,

Brook

I'm pretty sure thats the fuel pump. I'm not too familar with that year of Merc so I dont want to tell you wrong, but I'm 99% on this.

Thank you...

So would the Filter be in the "Silver/Aluminum" Cap shown in the pic?

Thank you...

You're really talking to someone who doesnt know, but I think your fuel pump diaphram is right there - not a filter. I'm not positive it even has a filter.

Micro filter under tha piece your talkin' bout. Thats tha "IN" side of tha pump. Be careful with tha gasket, maybe O ring, under it.

Take tha fuel lines off first. Makes it lots easier ta work with tha pump.............T

Brake clean, soapy water and/or compressed air will do it. Make sure its dry before ya put it back..........
