This Mercury Marine part, the 8M0061895 fuel line assembly, is the kind of gear you install once and quietly rely on every time you turn the key.

Performance & Practical Benefits
You notice the difference in small, reassuring ways. The primer bulb feels firm in your hand, not spongy or cracked. A few squeezes and you can tell fuel is moving, the line is full, and the engine is ready to fire. Cold starts feel less dramatic. Instead of long cranking and rough coughing, the motor settles into a smoother, steadier idle.

During the day, the low permeation hose and proper internal diameter help keep fuel delivery even. That means when you roll into the throttle to beat an incoming storm or ease back to idle at the dock, the response feels clean rather than hesitant. The gray outer layer works quietly against the sun, reflecting more heat so the fuel inside stays cooler and less prone to vapor lock. The clip on connectors at both ends snap into place with a confident, secure feel, so you are not constantly checking for drips or loose fittings.

Why Buy OEM
Fuel line does not seem like a big decision until it lets you down. A Mercury Marine part like this one is built around the way these engines actually live: hot days, ethanol blended fuel, vibration, and a lot of start stop cycles. The hose material, wall thickness, and connector design on part number 8M0061895 are chosen specifically for marine use and for these clip on style systems.

You could build your own setup from bulk hose and whatever fittings you find, but you will be guessing on compatibility and longevity. With this Mercury fuel line assembly, you are starting from a design that has already been tested to work with your style of engine. It is a practical, real world choice that trades mystery for predictability and helps keep your boat ready when you are.
