This 12-foot Mercury fuel line assembly is built for the common clip-on setups used on Mercury, Mariner, and Force motors. The hose has a solid, dependable feel—flexible enough to route cleanly, but not the soft, collapsible stuff that starves an engine when you hit the throttle. The primer bulb pumps firm, and the connectors snap in the way they’re supposed to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"616\" data-end=\"619\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"621\" data-end=\"639\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"640\" data-end=\"1038\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"643\" data-end=\"672\"\u003e5\/16\" Low-Permeation Hose\u003c\/strong\u003e – Helps keep fumes down and fuel fresh.\u003cbr data-start=\"712\" data-end=\"715\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"718\" data-end=\"734\"\u003e12-Ft Length\u003c\/strong\u003e – Good reach for boats with tanks set farther forward.\u003cbr data-start=\"789\" data-end=\"792\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"795\" data-end=\"823\"\u003eGray UV-Resistant Jacket\u003c\/strong\u003e – Runs cooler in the sun and helps prevent vapor lock.\u003cbr data-start=\"878\" data-end=\"881\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"884\" data-end=\"910\"\u003eClip-On Quick Connects\u003c\/strong\u003e – Correct fittings for both the tank and engine ends.\u003cbr data-start=\"964\" data-end=\"967\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"970\" data-end=\"999\"\u003eEPA-MERC-PB15 Primer Bulb\u003c\/strong\u003e – Gives a strong, predictable squeeze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1040\" data-end=\"1043\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1045\" data-end=\"1078\"\u003eEngine \u0026amp; Boat Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1079\" data-end=\"1180\"\u003e • Mercury outboards\u003cbr data-start=\"1099\" data-end=\"1102\"\u003e • Mariner outboards\u003cbr data-start=\"1122\" data-end=\"1125\"\u003e • Force outboards\u003cbr data-start=\"1143\" data-end=\"1146\"\u003e • Clip-on portable tank systems\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1182\" data-end=\"1185\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1187\" data-end=\"1225\"\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Practical Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1226\" data-end=\"1566\"\u003eA fresh line usually straightens out a lot of little fuel complaints—rough idle, hard priming, or the engine sagging when you roll into the throttle. With a proper hose, fuel flow stays steady even when you trim up or bounce through chop. Cold starts get easier, too, because the bulb actually pulls fuel instead of collapsing in your hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1568\" data-end=\"1571\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1573\" data-end=\"1590\"\u003eWhy Buy OEM\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1591\" data-end=\"1880\"\u003eOEM lines don’t swell, crack, or turn mushy after a season. The connectors lock in cleanly, and the bulb lasts longer than the bargain-bin versions that usually fail right when you need them most.
