Mercury – Fuel Line Assembly with Primer Bulb | Fuel System | 8M0053987
Overview
A good fuel line doesn’t draw much attention—until it starts acting up. This assembly gives you a clean, steady fuel supply for Force and Mercury outboards that use clip-on style tank and engine disconnects. The hose is flexible but tough enough to handle long days in the sun, and the primer bulb feels solid in the hand the way a proper marine line should. For anyone who’s chased down sputtering issues on the water, having a dependable line like this makes all the difference.
Key Features
• Low-Permeation Fuel Hose – Uses a 5/16-inch line built to reduce vapor loss and fuel smell.
• Integrated Primer Bulb – Delivers a firm, consistent squeeze for quick fuel draw.
• Clip-On Disconnects – Works with the common tank and engine connectors used on Force, Mercury, and Mariner rigs.
• Gray UV-Resistant Jacket – Helps cut down heat soak and vapor lock in warm conditions.
• Flexible Marine-Grade Material – Handles bends and movement without kinking or stiffening.

Performance & Practical Benefits
A fresh fuel line usually brings back a cleaner idle and smoother throttle response, especially after the old hose starts to dry out or collapse. The primer bulb pulls fuel more predictably, which makes starting easier after the boat’s been sitting. Long runs feel steadier because the hose maintains fuel flow without starving the engine when you trim or hit chop. It’s a simple upgrade that helps keep the engine behaving the way you expect.
Why Buy OEM
OEM fuel lines match Mercury’s sizing, material standards, and flow characteristics, so the engine sees the fuel delivery it was designed around. The connectors snap on cleanly without leaks, and the hose holds up to heat, fuel blends, and constant movement. It’s the most reliable way to avoid small fuel issues that can turn into bigger headaches.
