Installed the primer bulb on my small fishing boat and noticed immediate improvement in engine start performance. It primed quickly even in cold mornings. The metal rings hold the hose firmly in place and there’s no leakage. Works well with ethanol fuel and feels durable.

Great product for a dinghy. The high flow capacity means the engine starts smoothly every time. No backflow issues and it’s easy to connect. The black color blends well with the boat’s interior. No problems after several months of use.

Works as expected. The dual check valves help prevent fuel from leaking back. A bit harder to install than I expected, but once set up, it’s reliable. Good for small vessels with frequent starts.
