 Brand of fuel line and where to get it?
I am putting my gas tank in the front of the boat, so I need to run a new, longer fuel line from the tank to the motor. What brand of fuel line is recommended and where do I get it? I will probably use 1/4" line, and I saw a Sierra recommendation on here somewhere, so I thought I would ask again.

 Re: Brand of fuel line and where to get it?
Auto Zone has Goodyear/Marine grade 1/4" fuel line & all the fittings.When that wears out, I`ll probably get some of that high dollar SIERRA.

Poker, I don't know if this is the Merc fuel line you are talking about, but it caused me a major headache with my bass rig.

 Re: Brand of fuel line and where to get it?
Wish I knew the answer to that Brooks. Didn't know there was a problem with it until I fished a little tourney on Toledo Bend earlier in the year. We cut across to the Texas side and then back, fished a little more, and then started having trouble. Everything was fine on top-end I would just have to start off slowly to get on step. When I got it home I wanted to drain the tank, so I took the hose off the motor and started pumping the bulb. A chit load of plastic came out. I cut the fuel line open and that is what I found. That was a Mercury fuel line which came with the bulb the last time the bulb was changed.
