Anyone know the size of the little rubber o ring that is in the quick connect on a little Merc 9.9 kicker motor and where I can pick one up? I don't know if an auto parts store or hardware store would have one but at least if I knew the size, it would be a starting point. My 9.9 is sucking air at that hookup and the o ring is gone. It's the little o ring that seats the ball and seals the connection.

go to an outboard dealer and pick up a new end for your hose, only cost a few bucks

Any cheapo depot, hardware store, auto place or industrial supply house will sell O-rings. Just don't ask for them at Mickey D's or White Castle etc, while tasty, they won't work.

Tried that, the only ones at wally world are the wrong ones naturally. Not much else around.

Try a Merc dealer. Although I just ran into that same thing on my Honda and ended up having to buy a new fitting

Try napa or a mercury dealer. If it were me I'd just replace the hose with a new one since it's sucking air.

Find try r&d in new castle

I do away with that whole clip thing and just run the hose from the carb to the tank. If you have to have a disconnect do it at the tank.

try weigel in franklin

That's what I did with mine which is a Mariner 9.9. I've heard they are interchangeable with a Mercury.

I always carry a spare fitting in the storage box . They tend to spring leaks on occassion

Got it figured out. I found an o ring at Tractor supply today. It's for a pressure washer but the correct size. It worked well.

awesome, I thought it'd be local. but don't forget www.iboats.com for more complicated problems.

Be sure the Oring is gas resistant.
A persure washer Oring may not
hold up to long.
