Outboards are new to me but I bought a really nice Premier Tritonon with a Mercury 250 Verado. I was looking to take care of the maintenance in my usual OCD fashion and I couldn't find an inline fuel filter separator? I seem to remember the fuel filter on almost all the other toons that I have seen mainly because they seemed to stick out like a sore thumb. I called Premier and they said they don't have anything to do with that and is a dealer responsibility. Dealer in Minnesota is no longer there.
I would think it should have a filter and most likely the Verado would have one of the sensors that detects water in filter?

Verado's are new to me also having just given up sterndrives to outboards. I have learned that a Verado has a "engine mounted fuel filter" part #8M0122424. It also serves as a water separator. It looks like a very easy maintenance item.

So yours are not rigged with an inline filter? I have replaced both of the engine filters. Sail sounds like it is a good idea. Might do that.

Correct, best I can tell, the standard Verado fuel system does not include an in-line filter. I do not find any reference to an in-line filter in the service and operating manuals.

there is a drop inline cartridge fuel filter that needs to be changed out min once per year. You did not putost your engine serial number inwhich is the most important thing to have how the engine is set up and parts used per serial number groups..
