Anxingo 18-7853-1 fuel water separator bracket is a direct-fit replacement base that secures compatible marine fuel filters and provides a 3/8" NPT port for reliable fuel system service.

This bracket / filter base is engineered to replace a long list of OEM and aftermarket part numbers used in inboard, stern drive and outboard fuel systems. It accepts common marine spin-on fuel filter cartridges and gives installers flexible inlet/outlet routing while maintaining low pressure drop through its 3/8" NPT port. Use it when servicing fuel systems that reference cross numbers such as 35-60494-1, 35-807172, GLM 25000, Mercruiser 89876A3 and related items.
