I have a Merc 2-stroke, and the Merc fuel hoses don't seem to last well. They get hard, the bulbs get hard, etc. Maybe my expectations as to longevity are unrealistic. But I wonder, can folks recommend what they think is an excellent outboard fuel hose?

Thanks,

Hmm. The only fuel hose I've had that hardened were ones not compatible with ethanol. The ethanol safe hose seems to do fine.

I buy my fuel line at auto-part stores. I've never had an issue... The only things missing on an auto fuel line are the words Marine stamped on the side.... and the associated extra cost.
