Primer bulbs are they all created equal?

[Fl_Richard]

Looking to replace my 10 yr old primer bulbs and surface hoses. The iboats products are all under $10.00. Are they as good as the factory ones I'm replacing or is this a Johnson part I should be getting?

Thanks!
Richard

I don't know about the ones iboats sell but I got one from Wal-Mart one time, bad decision. I ended up getting a OMC and was the best thing I ever done. Same thing with the fuel tank.

The aftermarket ones at iboats are OK, but not as good as OEM. But less costly. Lousy valves in the aftermarket ones, but hey, they work. It's what I have on my boat. Never have failed me, I'm just not in love with them.

I don't know about the one's from here, but I agree with the one's from Wal Mart. They are crap.
