Need fuel line and fittings for classic mercury outboard

[dbizkit12]

I just acquired a 1965 mercury 65hp outboard with a boat. I have been searching for a fuel line and fittings that work for this motor, but no luck so far (and not really sure what Im looking for, as I am new to boating).

If anyone can tell me where I can get one, or if any universal fittings will work, i would appreciate it.

Not knowing exactly which lines and fittings you want to replace, here's a good place for older Merc parts.

i have a 1971 merc 65hp. and need new fuel lines, i tried some merc dealers out of stock 3-4 weeks on back order. So i improvised went to nappa got some brake line fittings and line rubber hose put the fitting on with abouut 1 inch of metal lines sticking out then put the rubber hose on using 2 clamps on each fitting. yes i know this is jerry rigging but it was boating season when i did it and the motor is still running strong
