[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 420550, member: 15636"] Size connector to be used to the diameter of the fuel line used. As far as "outside" appearance of that fitting - Mercury, Mariner, Sears Gamefisher, Honda, Nissan/Tohatsu and others HAVE ALL USED a connector that looks like that. The difference I found was in (1) the diameter of the fitting OD, (2) effective length of said OD to the locking groove/feature and (3) depth of penetration that the "pin" on the corresponding female connector needed to have to properly draw fuel. I once had a 7.5 Sears as a kicker and had heck of a time getting the right connector. Had one that 'fit' and matched the OB brand, but it wouldn't draw fuel! After a few minutes the engine would starve & stall out. That's how I learned about the pin length on the female connector end. Ended up driving the rig to a marine store and they let me go through a few to get the right one. Ahhhhh yes, somewhere in its life the previous owner had changed out the 'brand' of connector on the OB motor to probably match their other fuel tanks and/or boats. [/QUOTE]
