It is the female half of a twist-lock fuel line coupling, designed to mate with the corresponding male connector to create a secure, leak-resistant seal at the fuel line disconnect point between the tank and the outboard motor. The connector is machined from brass for corrosion resistance and long service life in a marine fuel environment, with 5\/16 inch NPT threading for connection to standard fuel line hose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis female connector mates with the Sierra 18-80410-1 male connector to complete the fuel line coupling. It is a direct cross-reference replacement for several factory female fuel connectors used across a range of Mercury outboard motors, making it a straightforward swap when a factory connector is worn, cracked, or no longer sealing properly. Fitment covers Mercury 125 4-cyl. (1994 and up), 65 Jet (1994 and up), 75 3-cyl. (1987 and up), 80 Jet (1994 and up), and 90 3-cyl.
