Sierra 18-7735 Suzuki Replacement Fuel Filter Element Product Description
Keep your Suzuki outboard running smoothly on every outing with the Sierra 18-7735 replacement fuel filter element. Designed as a direct OEM substitute, this high-quality filter traps dirt, debris, and contaminants from your fuel line, preventing clogs that could lead to rough idling, power loss, or engine stalling. Boaters trust Sierra parts for their reliable performance in harsh marine environments, ensuring you spend more time on the water and less worrying about fuel system issues.
What sets this filter apart is its precision engineering to match Suzuki's exact specifications, using premium materials that resist corrosion from ethanol-blended fuels and saltwater exposure. Whether you're maintaining a weekend fishing rig or a high-performance offshore vessel, upgrading to the Sierra 18-7735 means peace of mind with every throttle pull.
Key Features and Performance Benefits

- Corrosion-Resistant Construction: Built with rugged materials that withstand marine conditions, including humidity, salt spray, and vibration.
- Easy Drop-In Replacement: Matches OEM dimensions for hassle-free installation without modifications or special tools.
- Extended Service Life: Handles high fuel flow rates while maintaining efficiency, reducing replacement frequency.
- Cost-Effective Reliability: Delivers factory-level quality at a fraction of dealer prices, backed by Sierra's reputation in the boating community.
Regular use of this filter element not only safeguards your engine but also optimizes fuel economy by ensuring clean delivery to the combustion chamber. Anglers and cruisers alike report smoother starts and consistent power after swapping in the Sierra 18-7735.
Perfect Fit for Popular Suzuki Models
This Sierra fuel filter element is engineered for seamless compatibility with a wide range of Suzuki outboard engines. It slots right into the stock housing on models from the DF series and select DT/DFI lines, making it a go-to choice for mechanics and DIY boaters. Always cross-reference your engine's service manual to confirm fitment, but rest assured, Sierra prioritizes accuracy to avoid guesswork.
Common applications include mid-range and high-horsepower outboards where fuel system reliability is critical. If your Suzuki is experiencing hesitation under load or black smoke from incomplete combustion, a fresh 18-7735 could be the simple fix you've been searching for.
Step-by-Step Installation Tips
- Shut off the fuel supply and relieve pressure in the lines by loosening the primer bulb or venting the tank.
- Locate the fuel filter housing on your Suzuki outboard—typically near the primer bulb or along the fuel rail.
- Twist off the canister counterclockwise and remove the old element carefully to avoid spilling fuel.
- Insert the new Sierra 18-7735 element, ensuring proper orientation (arrow facing fuel flow direction).
- Reassemble securely, prime the system, and check for leaks before firing up the engine.
Pro tip: Replace the element every season or after 100 hours of use, especially if running E10 or higher ethanol fuels, which accelerate gumming. This quick 10-minute job can prevent costly repairs down the line.
Long-Term Fuel System Maintenance
Beyond just swapping the filter, proactive care keeps your Suzuki's fuel system primed for adventure. Monitor for water contamination by installing a water-separating filter upstream, and use fuel stabilizers during storage to combat varnish buildup. Pairing the Sierra 18-7735 with routine line inspections ensures your outboard delivers peak performance season after season.
