Mercury – Fuel Line Assembly | 8-Foot Fuel Supply | 32-8M0061083

Overview

This 8-foot fuel line is the kind of replacement most boaters end up needing sooner or later, especially when the old line gets stiff or starts seeping fuel. It’s built to handle the usual sun, heat, and bending that portable tanks go through, and it stays flexible instead of turning brittle after a season. The primer bulb has a solid feel and moves fuel with just a couple of squeezes. It’s a simple, dependable setup that makes starting the engine a lot less of a chore.

Performance & Practical Benefits

A fresh fuel line usually makes cold starts easier and helps the engine run smoother throughout the day. This hose stays workable, even after being coiled and uncoiled, and it doesn’t fight you when you need to reroute it around lockers or tank trays. The bulb delivers a clean, steady prime, so fuel gets to the engine without any hesitation. Over time, a reliable fuel line keeps minor issues—like sputtering or delayed starts—from turning into bigger headaches.

Why Buy OEM

OEM lines match the way Mercury fuel systems are designed to flow and seal. The materials hold up to real boating conditions—sun, heat, vibration, and modern fuel blends—without softening or cracking early. With OEM, the fittings are correct, the hose behaves the way it should, and the engine gets the steady fuel feed it expects.

FAQ

Q1: How do I know my old line needs to be replaced?
If it feels brittle, smells like fuel, leaks, or the bulb won’t firm up, it’s ready to retire.

Q2: Any adjustments needed before using this line?
No—just thread the tank side, snap the engine fitting, and prime it.

Q3: Why use a gray hose instead of black?
Gray absorbs less heat, which helps cut down vapor lock on hot days.

Q4: Anything worth checking before you install it?
Make sure your tank and engine fittings match what the line comes with.

Q5: What happens when a fuel line is failing?
Hard starts, sputtering at throttle, collapsing bulbs, or inconsistent fuel flow.
