    Bad Hose???

    found a questionable hose under my cowling with a wear spot on it...im in the house now and it is not right in front of me, but pretty sure it is an oil hose or maybe the pressure line for the oil tank, about 15 inches long. Can I replace it with any simular hose from NAPA or do In specifically need a Merc hose? I am hoping to just be able to take my hose to NAPA in the morning and say..."I need one of these"...what you think? thanks

    Jeff:

    I'd highly recommend utilizing only the CORRECT, OEM replacement hose.

    Even more critical, since we don't know exactly what hose.
