Attwood Yamaha Female Hose Fitting - Tank Or Engine End - 5/16" Barb

The Attwood Yamaha Female Hose Fitting with 5/16" Barb is a critical fuel system connector designed for anglers and boaters who demand reliability on the water. This barbed fitting serves as either a tank-end or engine-end connection point, making it a versatile solution for fuel line maintenance and repair across Yamaha outboard systems. Whether you're running a 25-year-old outboard or last season's model, a properly functioning fuel connection is non-negotiable—especially when you're miles offshore or deep in a backcountry run.

Built to handle leaded, unleaded, ethanol-blended, and alcohol-blended fuels, this Attwood fitting accommodates the real-world fuel variations found at marinas nationwide. The 5/16" inner diameter (I.D.) barb design creates a secure, friction-fit connection that grips standard marine fuel hose without requiring thread sealant or additional hardware—though hose clamps should be used for maximum safety and longevity. The female design allows for quick disconnect or reconnect at either the fuel tank or engine mounting point, reducing downtime during seasonal commissioning or emergency repairs. Attwood's marine-grade construction ensures corrosion resistance in salt and freshwater environments alike.

Any Yamaha outboard owner performing fuel system work—from hose replacement to fuel line reconfiguration—will benefit from keeping this fitting on hand. It's equally valuable for boaters diagnosing fuel delivery issues or upgrading aging fuel systems. Compatibility with both tank and engine connections makes it a universal repair component that fits most Yamaha outboard configurations. Installation is straightforward: simply insert the barbed end into your 5/16" fuel hose and secure with appropriate stainless-steel hose clamps for a leak-free seal. For maximum lifespan, always pair this fitting with quality marine fuel line rated for your specific engine and fuel type.
