Sierra 18-81044EP-2 81044EP2 Premium Fuel Line Assembly, Suzuki Product Description
Upgrade your Suzuki outboard's fuel delivery system with this reliable premium fuel line assembly, designed for seamless performance on the water. Crafted to meet the demands of marine environments, this assembly ensures consistent fuel flow, reducing the risk of clogs or leaks that can sideline your boating adventures. Whether you're heading out for a weekend cruise or a full-day fishing trip, it delivers the dependable power your engine needs without the hassle of frequent replacements.
Superior Construction for Lasting Durability
The heart of this fuel line assembly is its premium braided design, which provides exceptional strength and flexibility. Unlike standard rubber lines that degrade quickly under UV exposure, ethanol blends, and constant vibration, the braided reinforcement resists cracking and swelling. This means fewer mid-trip failures and more time enjoying the ride. Paired with an EPA and CARB-approved primer bulb, it primes effortlessly, getting your Suzuki motor started on the first pull even after sitting idle.
Key Advantages Over Basic Fuel Lines
- Ethanol-Resistant Materials: Handles modern fuels with up to 10% ethanol (E10) and beyond, preventing softening or permeation issues common in older hoses.
- Two-Station Setup: Ideal for portable tanks, offering quick-connect fittings that make switching tanks a breeze without spills.
- Abraision and Kink Resistant: The outer braid protects against wear from deck hardware, lines, and rough handling.
- Easy Maintenance: Smooth inner lining promotes unrestricted fuel flow and simplifies cleaning if needed.
Perfect Fit for Suzuki Outboards
Engineered as a direct replacement for Suzuki models, this assembly matches OEM specifications for length, diameter, and connection points. It's a go-to solution for owners of popular four-stroke outboards, ensuring plug-and-play installation without custom modifications. Boaters report smoother idling and throttle response after swapping out worn factory lines, thanks to the optimized flow characteristics.
Installation Tips for Peak Performance
Swapping out your fuel line takes under 30 minutes with basic tools. Start by disconnecting the old line from the tank and engine, then inspect for debris in the fittings—flush if necessary. Route the new assembly away from hot exhaust parts and sharp edges to maximize longevity. Squeeze the primer bulb a few times post-install to purge air, and you're ready to launch. Pro tip: Apply a light coat of marine grease to O-rings for a secure, leak-free seal.
Why Boaters Trust This Assembly
In the world of outboard maintenance, reliability is everything. This premium option stands out by combining rugged build quality with regulatory compliance, giving you peace of mind on every outing. It's not just a replacement—it's an upgrade that extends engine life and cuts down on downtime. Anglers and recreational boaters alike praise its consistent priming action, even in cooler weather when standard bulbs falter.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the braided fuel line in this assembly premium?
The premium braided construction features a reinforced outer layer over a flexible inner hose, providing superior resistance to abrasion, kinking, UV damage, and ethanol fuels compared to basic rubber lines.
Is the primer bulb compliant with EPA and CARB standards?
Yes, the included primer bulb meets both EPA and CARB emissions requirements, ensuring low-permeation performance to minimize fuel vapors and meet environmental regulations.
Which Suzuki outboard models is this fuel line assembly compatible with?
It's designed as a direct fit for many Suzuki four-stroke outboards, particularly those using standard two-station fuel systems. Always verify your model's hose specs for the best match.
How do I know if my current fuel line needs replacing?
Look for signs like hard or cracked hoses, slow priming, fuel leaks, or a gasoline smell. If the line feels stiff or the bulb doesn't firm up after squeezing, it's time for a new assembly.
