    I buy mine at the boat dealer. Hoses too, they are soooo much better.
    Last time I saw a mouth like that it had a hook in it!

    Gander Mountain carries Mercury OEM bulbs. Don't know about other brands. I changed mine yesterday, and the new one was identical to the original. Much more substantial feel than the Walmart version.

    Agree either Mercury precision parts or BRP has the better quality bulbs.

    Yea mine is a 1993. I replaced it about 2 months ago, just because I added a filter/water separator(spelling??) but it was still working. May have been a mistake we will see.

    I think I need to change mine. Pump it up and the motor will start and cut off. Feel the bulb and it has no pressure built up. Have to pump it again several times.
