Mercury – Fuel Line Assembly, 8 Ft. | Fuel System | 32-8M0061086

Overview

If you’ve run an outboard long enough, you know a tired fuel line can ruin a good day on the water. Soft spots, cracks, or a primer bulb that never firms up—those little issues add up fast. This 8-foot Mercury fuel line assembly is a clean, reliable replacement for Mercury, Mariner, and Force motors that use the standard clip-on connectors. The hose feels sturdy but still bends where you need it to, and the primer bulb actually moves fuel instead of just collapsing in your hand. If the engine’s been stumbling or losing power now and then, a fresh line like this is often the cure.

Key Features

 • Low-Permeation Hose – Helps keep fumes down and fuel fresher.
 • Flexible, Long-Lasting Build – Routes easily without kinking or stiffening.
 • Gray UV Jacket – Stays cooler in the sun and helps cut down vapor lock.
 • Clip-On Disconnects – Quick connectors for both the tank and engine ends.
 • EPA-MERC-PB15 Primer Bulb – Gives a firm, reliable squeeze when priming.

Performance & Practical Benefits

A new fuel line usually tightens everything up—better idle, easier priming, and smoother throttle when you push the boat up on plane. The hose won’t flatten out when the engine’s pulling hard, so you don’t get that annoying bog when you hit chop or trim up. Cold starts tend to behave better too because the bulb pulls fuel instead of puffing air. It’s a simple job that often makes the motor feel “right” again.

Why Buy OEM

OEM lines just last longer. The fittings snap cleanly into place, the hose holds up to ethanol and sunlight, and the bulb doesn’t give out halfway through the season. Mercury builds these assemblies to handle real marine use—constant vibration, heat, and fuel exposure—so you’re not fighting failures caused by cheap materials.

FAQ

Q1: What’s a common sign the fuel line needs replacing?
A: Soft spots, cracking, swelling, or a primer bulb that won’t firm up.

Q2: Do the connectors need to snap in a certain way?
A: Yes—when you hear or feel a click, they’re locked in properly.

Q3: Why use a gray hose instead of black?
A: Gray absorbs less heat, which helps reduce vapor lock on hotter days.

Q4: How often should I look over my fuel line?
A: Once a season is smart—sun, ethanol, and vibration wear out hoses quicker than people think.

Q5: What does a collapsing hose feel like underway?
A: The engine bogs or loses power because it can’t get enough fuel.
