High-quality engine-side fuel connector engineered to restore a secure, leak-resistant fuel line connection on Suzuki and compatible outboard motors from 4 to 140 HP.

This JLM MARINE replacement is a direct-fit male fuel connector designed for Suzuki outboards and compatible Johnson/Evinrude applications. Manufactured from rugged plastic with a brass exterior finish, the part replaces several OEM numbers and is intended to provide corrosion resistance and consistent fuel flow in saltwater and freshwater environments. It’s useful when the original connector is worn, cracked, or no longer seals reliably.

Which engines and OEM numbers does this connector replace?

The connector is made to fit a wide range of Suzuki outboards from small to high horsepower models and matches several OEM cross-references. It directly replaces Suzuki 65720-986L0 and 65720-986B0, as well as Johnson/Evinrude 5032150 and Sierra 18-80425.

• Compatible with Suzuki DF 4, 5, 6, 8, 9.9, 15, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 90, 100, 115, 140 HP
• Accepts standard fuel line fittings for engine-side connections
• Cross-referenced to common OEM numbers for easy ordering

How does the material and finish help in marine conditions?

The connector pairs a durable engineered plastic body with a brass exterior finish to resist corrosion without adding unnecessary weight. That combination helps the fitting keep a solid seal and maintain structural integrity around clamps and hose ends.

• Brass finish provides extra resistance to saltwater corrosion
• Plastic core reduces risk of cracking from vibration and flexing
• Durable construction for long-term service life in marine use

Will this part deliver a leak-free fuel connection?

When installed correctly with the appropriate fuel hose and clamp, the connector creates a reliable, leak-resistant joint between the fuel line and the engine’s inlet. Proper hose sizing and secure clamping are essential for optimal performance.

• Designed for secure mating with engine inlet fittings
• Use matching fuel hose diameter and corrosion-resistant clamps
• Inspect seals and hoses during installation to ensure no leakage

What should I check before ordering and installing?

Confirm your engine model and OEM part number to ensure compatibility, and verify the fuel hose inner diameter to match the connector. If the original fitting shows corrosion, deformation, or hairline cracks, replacement is recommended.

• Compare part numbers (Suzuki 65720-986L0/986B0, Johnson/Evinrude 5032150)
• Measure fuel hose inner diameter for correct fit
• Have clamps and sealant tools on hand for secure installation

Who is this product for? Boaters, marine mechanics, and DIY enthusiasts who maintain Suzuki or compatible Johnson/Evinrude outboards will benefit from this replacement connector. It’s aimed at anyone needing a dependable, OEM-replacement fuel-side fitting to restore safe, efficient fuel delivery on a wide range of small to mid-size outboard engines.
