Where to get oil lines made up?
 

Local hydraulic shops in my area can't help me because they are stainless. Who can I call?

I dont think you will find that too easily. May be easier to just get direct replacements from Mercury.

Just use Aeroquip fittings and line. You can make anything you need.

I got my oil lines of my 502 that I'm not using because I changed my remote filter location. Let me know if you could use them.

Marine Power 502, not merc, I was hoping to get from non dealer source

Are they NPT threads?

No they are not. Inverted flare I think.

Use the pushlock hose with the barbed end fittings. You just cut the length you need and push the hose over the barbed end. XRP hose and fittings are nice they even have clamps you can use for added security.

Do a google on Parker Hose/Hydraullics. They may have what you need.

This is who made mine. Make sure to get new fittings also, if you are experiencing a leak.

Yes I have one hose on each motor leaking a little. I want to replace all of them. I could easily get some standard hoses made up. I thought I should stay with the OEM style of ends because of the gradual 90 degree turn. Where a standard 90 fitting would impede flow? These are not hot rod engines (415 hp) but I do run for extended periods of time at cruise RPM of 3600 to 3800 rpms. Would standard ends be OK? Or should I just get OEM stuff? If I could get just the ends a local shop could assemble the hose.

Thanks everyone for the responses!!

Look for a parker store in your area. I had my lines made at a place called Fluid Systems Engineering (aka the parker store) here in the Detroit area.

Try this.

If there is a Goodyear hose dealer near you, they can make up anything you need. I had the braided trim lines running to my outdrives made by them, and save a bunch over the Merc parts.

Thanks guys for all the help. I just ordered new lines from the Marine Power dealer. Got a pretty good deal six hoses for about 150.00 bucks. Can't complain about that. Thanks again for all the suggestions
