This 9-foot Mercury fuel line is basically a fresh start. It’s a straight 5\/16\" hose with no connectors attached, so you can rig it exactly how your tank and engine are set up. The hose has the right feel to it—flexible enough to snake through tight spots but firm enough that it won’t collapse when the engine pulls fuel. The included primer bulb actually pumps the way it should, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"673\" data-end=\"676\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"678\" data-end=\"696\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"697\" data-end=\"1101\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"700\" data-end=\"729\"\u003e5\/16\" Low-Permeation Hose\u003c\/strong\u003e – Cuts down on fuel smell and stands up to today’s gas.\u003cbr data-start=\"785\" data-end=\"788\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"791\" data-end=\"820\"\u003eEPA-MERC-PB15 Primer Bulb\u003c\/strong\u003e – Good squeeze, quick prime, no mushiness.\u003cbr data-start=\"863\" data-end=\"866\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"869\" data-end=\"893\"\u003eBlank Ends by Design\u003c\/strong\u003e – Add your own connectors to match your system.\u003cbr data-start=\"941\" data-end=\"944\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"947\" data-end=\"977\"\u003eDurable, Easy-Routing Hose\u003c\/strong\u003e – Doesn’t kink up when you install it.\u003cbr data-start=\"1016\" data-end=\"1019\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"1022\" data-end=\"1040\"\u003eGray UV Jacket\u003c\/strong\u003e – Stays cooler in the sun and helps avoid vapor-lock issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1103\" data-end=\"1106\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1108\" data-end=\"1141\"\u003eEngine \u0026amp; Boat Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1142\" data-end=\"1299\"\u003e • Mercury outboards\u003cbr data-start=\"1162\" data-end=\"1165\"\u003e • Mariner outboards\u003cbr data-start=\"1185\" data-end=\"1188\"\u003e • Force outboards\u003cbr data-start=\"1206\" data-end=\"1209\"\u003e • Universal 5\/16\" fuel systems\u003cbr data-start=\"1240\" data-end=\"1243\"\u003e • Portable tanks (once you add the connectors you need)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1301\" data-end=\"1304\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1306\" data-end=\"1344\"\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Practical Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1345\" data-end=\"1735\"\u003eA fresh fuel line like this usually smooths out a bunch of little annoyances. The engine primes faster, idle steadies up, and it stops falling on its face when you hit chop or try to get on plane. Since the hose doesn’t collapse under suction, the motor keeps pulling clean fuel no matter how the boat’s riding. It’s one of those small fixes that makes the whole setup feel more dependable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1737\" data-end=\"1740\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1742\" data-end=\"1759\"\u003eWhy Buy OEM\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1760\" data-end=\"2070\"\u003eMercury’s hose material holds up better to sun, vibration, and ethanol. Cheap aftermarket lines get soft, crack, or stink like raw fuel after a few weekends. The OEM bulb also lasts a lot longer—it doesn’t turn squishy halfway through the season.
