Hi the one Evinrude recommend is the Raccor , however you can get this one from Force 4 which is the same rating (10 micron) and looks very similar for a lot less.

Hi the one Evinrude recommend is the Raccor Racor Filters, Racor 300 Spin-On (Petrol), however you can get this one from Force 4 which is the same rating (10 micron) and looks very similar.

Fit the same as the other one. A lot easier to maintain with the same spares

I use one of these simple spin on filters. Less gaskets to leak and no plastic that can get broken in our tiny boat. I have no need to see if there is water in my fuel though since my boat is stored on the trailer with a full tank of fuel and gets used often enough to cycle the fuel. Otherwise the Racors are well known thru the industry. Just make sure to protect the plastic parts. Fuel leaks on a boat are really bad.
