I have a new 115 Pro XS, 3B259075. Had a fuel cell built for my boat. Need to run a new fuel line to motor. With the curves and bends will be about 21' of hose. Whats's the best fuel hose to buy and should I run 3/8" all the way? Think my motor has the 8mm quick disconnect now. Would have to change it to the 10mm. Thanks Wayne

I would definitely go with 3/8" ID, A1-15 hose, and the correct fitting for the connector at the cowling. That's a LONG, LONG hose run!

Thanks Don. Any brand to avoid? I see there are a few companies making these hoses.

Out of curiosity, how do you need 21’ of fuel hose in 16’ boat? Seems interesting. Assuming it for the Reaper in your signature.

Not really going to get into "avoids" for that question. MPI, Shields, and a few others are decent.Originally Posted by mr wayne
