Fuel filter – code: 35-8M0106635 – Mercury

Mercury fuel filter 35-8M0106635 (On-Engine Separate Water)

The Fuel Filter Mercury with code 35-8M0106635 (Mercury replacement 8M0106635) is a fuel filter designed for installation on-engine with the function of water separation. Its function is to help keep the fuel system cleaner, removing contaminants and water from the fuel and reducing the risk that particles and debris reach sensitive engine components.

In the nautical field, fuel quality and the presence of condensation or impurities can affect engine performance. For this reason, a dedicated and properly maintained filter is an important element of regular maintenance. This model is suitable for specific Mercury outboard engines.

Main features and details

Function: filtration and water separation

The filter is described as On-Engine Separate Water: in addition to particle filtration, it is designed to retain water and contaminants present in the fuel, helping to protect the engine from impurities that could come from the tank or fuel line.

Filtration grade

The product is indicated as 10-micron fuel filter, a useful specification for those who need to comply with the configuration provided by the manufacturer and keep maintenance consistent with engine requirements.

Compatibility (as per available description)

According to the information provided, the filter is suitable for:

• Mercury V6 outboard engines from 3.4L and V8 from 4.6L FourStroke
• Indicated power range: 150–300 HP (four-stroke)

Note: for precise verification, it is always advisable to check the owner's manual and/or the replacement part code required by your engine, especially in the presence of year/model variants.

Product codes useful for identification

• Mercury Code: 35-8M0106635 / 8M0106635
• SKU: DARP000059
• Supplier product code: MC35-8M0106635

When ordering or requesting a replacement, the use of the exact code helps reduce selection errors and speed up management.

Typical applications in the nautical field

This fuel filter is designed for use on compatible Mercury outboard engines, in contexts where fuel quality may vary and where the presence of water (for example due to condensation) is a maintenance consideration.

When it is particularly useful

• Seasonal maintenance of the outboard engine
• Localized prevention on fuel systems subject to contamination
• Restoring the correct filtration level specified by the manufacturer after replacement or interventions on the circuit

Usage context

In a marine fuel system, debris and particles can come from the tank, manufacturing residues, deposits, or accidental contamination. A dedicated filter helps to limit the entry of impurities into the engine, with the aim of maintaining a more regular fuel supply and reducing the likelihood of issues related to imperfectly clean fuel.

Operational advantages

Protection of the fuel circuit

The main function of the filter is to prevent harmful debris present in the gasoline tank from reaching the engine. Keeping the fuel cleaner means reducing the exposure of components and internal passages to particles and contaminants.

Water separation

The presence of water in fuel is a known issue in the marine field. A filter with water separation, as indicated for this model, is designed to retain water and contaminants before they can reach the engine.

Original replacement and consistency with Mercury maintenance

Mercury parts and accessories are described as supported by experience in engineering, testing, and production to ensure fit, functionality, and performance in line with the manufacturer's expectations. In practice, choosing a replacement identified by the correct code helps maintain the configuration intended for the engine and simplifies maintenance activities.

Use and maintenance notes

Replacement intervals (as per available indications)

Replacement is recommended once per season or every 100 hours of engine operation, or according to the owner's manual.. Intervals may vary depending on usage conditions and fuel quality: following the manufacturer's instructions remains the best choice.

Good practices

• Always check the spare part code before purchase, especially if the engine has undergone updates or component replacements.
• During maintenance, operate safely and according to the procedures outlined in the engine manual.
• If recurring contamination is found, consider checking the entire fuel system (tank, line, connections) according to workshop practices.

Note on compatibility

The compatibilities listed in this sheet are based on available information (Mercury V6 3.4L and V8 4.6L FourStroke 150–300 HP). In case of doubt, it is advisable to compare the code 35-8M0106635 / 8M0106635 with what is indicated in the manual or with your own spare parts reference.
