Sierra 18-9763 9763 Rigging Union With Fuel Port

Upgrade your boat's fuel line setup with a rigging union that combines durability, convenience, and professional-grade organization. Designed for marine enthusiasts who demand reliability on the water, this component streamlines your outboard motor rigging by neatly concealing cables and lines while keeping essential access points front and center.

Key Features That Stand Out

Crafted from UV-stabilized plastic, the flange resists fading and cracking from prolonged sun exposure, ensuring it holds up season after season in harsh marine environments. The clever split design makes it a game-changer for boats already rigged—simply snap it into place without the hassle of disassembly.

• Seamless Concealment: Tucks away engine cables and fuel lines for a tidy engine compartment that looks factory-fresh.
• Primer Bulb Access: Snap-open feature lets you reach the primer bulb quickly during pre-launch checks, no tools required.
• Certified Compliance: Meets ABYC and NMMA standards, giving you peace of mind that your setup aligns with industry safety benchmarks.

Why Boat Owners Swear By This Rigging Solution

Imagine pulling up to the dock with an engine bay that turns heads—not just for performance, but for that polished, pro-level finish. This union isn't just about hiding wires; it's about protecting them from chafe, spray, and wear that lead to costly downtime. Fuel lines stay secure, reducing leak risks and maintaining optimal flow for consistent engine starts. Whether you're trailering to distant lakes or storing through salty winters, the robust construction minimizes maintenance headaches.

From weekend warriors to charter captains, users report easier servicing and fewer frustrations during tune-ups. It integrates smoothly into most outboard configurations, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality without compromising accessibility.

Effortless Installation Tips

Getting this up and running takes minutes, even on pre-assembled boats. Start by aligning the split halves around your existing fuel line and cables. Secure the flange with the integrated clips—firm but gentle to avoid pinching lines. Test the primer bulb access immediately to confirm smooth operation. Pro tip: Apply a light marine-grade lubricant to moving parts for longevity in humid conditions. No special tools needed, and it's reversible if you ever tweak your setup.

Long-Term Reliability in Real-World Conditions

UV stabilization goes beyond surface-level protection; it prevents brittleness that plagues lesser plastics after a few summers. Paired with ABYC-NMMA compliance, it supports safe fuel handling and electrical routing, crucial for insurance and resale value. Boat owners in sunny climates or high-use fleets notice the difference: no more frayed wires or exposed fittings inviting corrosion.
