I am looking at replacing the fuel/water seperator filter assy. Academy Sports has one that says for Mercury Motors. Any reason it should not work on my 1997 E-rude 200 ?

If you are buying the complete assembly, bracket and filter, it doesn't matter. The reason it says Mercury is because Mercruiser and OMC used different thread sizes on their stern drives. Recommend spending a little more money and get a Stainless Steel bracket and a Racor filter.
