- Inspect the fuel line for any cracks or damage and replace if necessary.
- Firmly push the new connector onto the engine-side fuel fitting until it clicks into place.
- Tug gently on the connector to ensure it is securely locked.
- Reconnect the fuel line, prime the system according to your engine's manual, and check thoroughly for any leaks before starting the engine.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I confirm this connector is right for my outboard?
First, verify your OEM part number against our Part Number Matrix. Second, check your engine brand, model, and horsepower in the compatibility tables. This part is a female, engine-side connector, primarily for Mercury, Mariner, and Force models.
What are common signs of a failing fuel line connector?
Symptoms include visible fuel leaks or a strong smell of gasoline around the engine, difficulty starting, stalling, or a sputtering engine. You may also notice the connector feels loose or does not "click" securely into place.
What is the difference between the engine-side and tank-side connector?
This female connector is specifically for the engine side. Fuel systems have unique male and female fittings at both the engine and the fuel tank, and they are not interchangeable. Ensure you are replacing the correct part.
