Mercury Quicksilver Carburetor Fuel Filter ā Part No. 35-53336T
This OEM carburetor inlet fuel filter installs directly inside the carburetor fuel inlet fitting, trapping debris and contaminants before they reach the jets and needle valve. A close relative of the 35-53336Q, the 53336T is the correct strainer for Rochester 2- and 4-barrel and MerCarb 2-barrel carburetors across a wider range of MerCruiser engine families including the larger 7.4L V8. Replacing this strainer at regular service intervals protects carburetor internals and helps maintain smooth throttle response.

Parts Desk Insights
Best use case: Annual preventive maintenance or any time the carburetor is removed for cleaning or rebuild. This is the correct strainer for the larger 7.4L V8 and Rochester-carbureted applications where the 35-53336Q does not apply. Inexpensive insurance ā a clogged strainer is a common cause of lean-running and hard starting that gets misdiagnosed as a full carburetor rebuild.
Common mistakes: Confusing this part with the 35-53336Q ā both are carburetor inlet strainers but fit different carburetor configurations. Also avoid ordering for EFI or MPI engines, which use an inline fuel filter instead. Always cross-reference the carburetor model number against your engine serial number range.
Dimensions
- Small cylindrical strainer element ā fits inside carburetor fuel inlet fitting
- Approximate weight: 50 g (0.05 kg)
