Fuel line clamp pliers (A) allow you to effectively
remove and install the Honda fuel line clamps.
Available from the Parts Division through normal
ordering procedures.
The OETIKER clamp pincer pliers (B) are
available through the Marine Tool and Equipment
program by calling (888) 424-6857.
If you are unable to properly crimp the band type
clamp provided, use a quality
lined
stainless steel
fuel hose clamp.
NOTICE
Do not tie the cables together within 300 mm
(11.8 in) of the under-case grommet A. This will
prevent stress flexing near the grommet, which
could cause intermittent power.
BOAT SIDE
The fuel hose is 7.3 mm (5/16 in) and the male
hose barb is stepped to 12 mm (0.4725 in). The
priming bulb hose barbs are 7.3 mm (5/16 in).
Make sure the fuel hose is not pinched or crushed
as it routes to the boat fuel supply. This could
cause an engine malfunction.
FUEL HOSE CLAMP
If the outboard motor fuel hose is going to be
connected directly into the boat fuel tank supply
hose, secure this hose by using a fuel hose clamp
type as listed above. Secure the hose joint so that
it does not bounce and become damaged on a
hard surface.
