Wraparound Outboard Rigging Protection
1.5" Split Conduit Outboard Rigging Tube - SPLITTUBING-15
SPLITTUBING-15 is a 1.5" split-conduit marine rigging tube designed to wrap around existing outboard wiring, hoses and cables without requiring the entire rigging bundle to be disconnected and fed through a closed tube.
This makes split conduit especially useful for existing installations, rerigging projects and repairs where the engine is already connected.
Pro Marine also stocks a larger 2" split-conduit version, traditional 2" black and white rigging tube, wrappable braided tubing, transom flanges and a 2" rigging hose union.
Diameter: 1.5"
Style: Split Conduit
Application: Outboard Engine Rigging
Best Use: Existing Wiring, Hose and Cable Bundles
Installation Style: Wraparound
What This Split Conduit is Used For
SPLITTUBING-15 is used to organize and protect an existing outboard rigging bundle without requiring every component to be removed from the engine or boat.
Depending on the installation, the conduit may be used around:
- Engine wiring harnesses
- Battery cables
- Throttle and shift cables
- Fuel hose
- Hydraulic steering hoses
- Gauge and network wiring
- Trim wiring
- Accessory wiring
Why Choose Split Conduit?
Traditional closed rigging tube normally requires the installer to feed the wiring, hoses and cables through the tube.
Split conduit opens along its length, allowing it to be installed around an existing rigging bundle.
This makes it a practical option when:
- The outboard is already fully rigged
- You do not want to disconnect engine harnesses or hoses
- The existing rigging needs additional abrasion protection
- You are cleaning up an older transom installation
- You need to replace deteriorated protective tubing
- You want easier access for future service
The conduit should surround the wiring and hoses without tightly compressing the bundle.
If the 1.5" size is too tight, use the 2" split-conduit version rather than squeezing fuel hose, steering hoses or control cables into an undersized sleeve.
Need 2" Split Conduit?
Larger split-conduit option for outboard rigging bundles that require more room than the 1.5" version provides.
Like SPLITTUBING-15, the split design allows the tubing to be installed around existing cables and hoses.

Wraparound Outboard Rigging Protection
2" Split Conduit Outboard Rigging Tube - SPLITTUBING-2
SPLITTUBING-2 is a 2" split-conduit marine rigging tube designed to wrap around existing outboard wiring, hoses and cables without requiring the complete rigging bundle to be disconnected and fed through a closed tube.
The larger 2" size is a good choice for bulkier rigging bundles that need more room than a 1.5" split conduit can provide.
Pro Marine also stocks a smaller 1.5" split-conduit version, traditional 2" black and white rigging tube, wrappable braided tubing, transom flanges and a 2" rigging hose union.
Diameter: 2"
Style: Split Conduit
Application: Outboard Engine Rigging
Best Use: Larger Existing Wiring, Hose and Cable Bundles
Installation Style: Wraparound
What This Split Conduit is Used For
SPLITTUBING-2 is used to organize and protect a larger existing outboard rigging bundle while allowing the tubing to be installed around the cables and hoses instead of feeding them through a closed tube.
Depending on the installation, the conduit can protect and organize:
- Engine wiring harnesses
- Battery cables
- Throttle and shift cables
- Fuel hose
- Hydraulic steering hoses
- Gauge and network wiring
- Trim wiring
- Accessory wiring
Why Choose 2" Split Conduit?
Closed rigging tube usually requires engine wiring, hoses and cables to be disconnected and fed through the tube.
Split conduit opens along its length, so it can be installed around an already-rigged engine bundle.
The 2" size is especially useful when:
- The existing rigging bundle is too large for 1.5" conduit
- The engine is already fully rigged
- You want to avoid disconnecting harnesses and hoses
- The existing cable bundle needs additional abrasion protection
- You are cleaning up or rerouting an older transom installation
- You want easier access for future repairs or inspection
The 2" split conduit should surround the rigging bundle without tightly compressing fuel hose, hydraulic hoses, wiring or control cables.
Leave enough space for the bundle to flex as the outboard steers, trims and tilts.
Need 1.5" Split Conduit Instead?
Smaller split-conduit option for more compact wiring and hose bundles.
If the existing rigging fits comfortably inside 1.5" conduit, this smaller size may provide a tighter and cleaner finished installation.

1/2" Type A1 Marine Fuel Hose
MPI 360-12 1/2" Type A1 Marine Fuel Hose
The MPI 360-12 1/2" Type A1 Marine Fuel Hose is a heavy-duty bulk fuel line for marine fuel systems requiring a 1/2" inside diameter and the additional fire-resistant protection associated with Type A1 marine fuel hose.
The larger 1/2" inside diameter makes this hose suitable for higher-flow marine fuel-system applications where a larger supply line is required.
Pro Marine stocks the matching German-style hose clamp, installation tools and a complete clamp assortment for marine fuel-system service.
Inside Diameter: 1/2"
Manufacturer: MPI Products
Fuel Hose Type: Type A1
Application: Marine Fuel System
Matching Clamp: German-Style Hose Clamp 4-4
What is Type A1 Marine Fuel Hose?
Type A1 marine fuel hose is designed for fuel-feed applications requiring a marine hose with enhanced fire-resistant performance.
Type A1 hose is commonly used in permanent marine fuel systems and installations where the fuel line passes through enclosed or below-deck areas.
When selecting fuel hose, both the inside diameter and the required hose classification should be verified for the installation.
Why Use 1/2" Fuel Hose?
A 1/2" fuel line provides greater internal flow area than the more common 1/4", 5/16" and 3/8" marine fuel hoses.
It may be used in applications where the engine or fuel-system design requires a larger fuel supply line to support higher fuel-flow demand.
Always follow the engine or boat manufacturer's required hose diameter rather than increasing or decreasing hose size without verifying the fuel-system requirements.
Unlike many smaller outboard fuel-line assemblies, a 1/2" marine fuel-line system would not normally use an inline hand primer bulb.
Larger 1/2" fuel lines are generally associated with higher-flow fuel systems where fuel delivery is handled by the engine's fuel-system configuration rather than a manual primer bulb.
Always follow the fuel-system design specified for the engine and boat.

View Oetiker Clamp PackWhat This Fuel Hose is Used For
MPI 360-12 is used when building, repairing or replacing a marine fuel supply line requiring 1/2" Type A1 hose.
Typical applications involve larger marine fuel systems where increased fuel-flow capacity is required and the installation calls for Type A1 hose.
Typical 1/2" Fuel-Line Setup
Depending on the boat and engine, a 1/2" marine fuel-line installation may include:
- MPI 360-12 1/2" Type A1 marine fuel hose
- German-style 4-4 hose clamps
- Fuel tank pickup or shutoff valve
- Fuel/water separator or filter assembly
- Engine fuel-system connection
- Application-specific fittings and adapters
Primer Bulb vs. Larger Fuel Systems
Smaller outboard fuel systems commonly use 1/4", 5/16" or 3/8" hose with an inline primer bulb.
A 1/2" fuel supply line generally indicates a higher-flow fuel system, and a hand primer bulb is not normally part of that configuration.
The engine manufacturer's fuel-system requirements should always take priority when determining hose size, fittings, filters and priming components.

Marine Fuel Tank Fill Hose
1-1/2" Type A2 Marine Fuel Fill Hose - FILLHOSE-112
FILLHOSE-112 is a 1-1/2" marine Type A2 fuel fill hose designed for the large-diameter fuel connection between the boat's deck-mounted gas fill and fuel tank.
Fuel fill hose is different from the smaller fuel-supply hose that carries gasoline from the tank to the engine. Its job is to safely route fuel from the deck fill fitting into the tank while providing the larger diameter needed during refueling.
Pro Marine also stocks the matching 4-8 German-style stainless-steel hose clamp, a 1-1/2" chrome gas deck fill, and a larger 2" Type A2 fuel fill hose.
Inside Diameter: 1-1/2"
Hose Type: USCG Type A2
Application: Marine Fuel Fill Line
Connects: Deck Fuel Fill to Fuel Tank
Matching Clamp: 4-8
What This Fuel Fill Hose is Used For
FILLHOSE-112 is intended for the fuel-fill portion of a permanently installed marine fuel system.
In a typical installation, the hose runs from the fitting directly behind the deck-mounted fuel cap down to the fuel tank's fill-neck connection.
Common applications include:
- Boat fuel tank fill hose
- Deck fill to fuel tank connection
- Replacement of aged or deteriorated marine fuel fill hose
- Boat restoration and fuel-system rerigging
- New permanent marine fuel tank installations
What Does USCG Type A2 Mean?
Type A2 is a marine fuel-hose classification used for compatible fuel-system applications including fuel fill and vent lines.
Under federal marine fuel-system requirements, Type A hose is constructed to meet a fire-resistance test. Type A2 is a Class 2 hose designation.
The important application distinction for this product is that Type A2 hose is suitable for a marine fuel fill or vent line. It should not be confused with the smaller Type A1 fuel hose commonly used in fuel-feed applications.
This 1-1/2" hose is intended for the deck fill to fuel tank connection.
Do not select fuel hose only by diameter. Fuel fill, vent and tank-to-engine fuel lines have different applications and hose requirements.
Matching 1-1/2" Fuel Fill Hose Clamp
Matching clamp for the 1-1/2" fuel fill hose installation.

View 4-9 Hose ClampFuel Fill Hose Installation Tips
- Match the hose inside diameter to the deck fill and fuel-tank fill connection.
- Use marine fuel hose specifically designed for fuel-fill applications.
- Use properly sized corrosion-resistant hose clamps.
- Make sure the hose is fully seated on each fitting before clamping.
- Avoid sharp bends that can restrict fuel flow while filling the tank.
- Route the hose so it cannot be crushed by batteries, storage or other equipment.
- Keep the hose away from sharp edges and moving components.
- Inspect the entire fill hose for cracking, hardening and deterioration.
- Check all connections for fuel seepage after installation.
Fuel fill hose is large and heavily constructed. Plan the routing before cutting the hose.
A smooth path from the deck fill to the tank helps fuel flow freely during refueling and reduces the chance of creating a low spot, restriction or kink.
When Should Marine Fuel Fill Hose Be Replaced?
Fuel fill hose should be inspected whenever the fuel tank, deck fill or surrounding rigging is serviced.
Consider replacement if you find:
- Cracking in the outer hose
- Dry, hardened or brittle hose
- Soft or swollen areas
- Abrasion or chafing
- Fuel odor around the fill-hose area
- Visible fuel seepage
- Damaged or heavily corroded clamps
- Hose that no longer fits securely on the fill fitting or tank
How the Marine Fuel Fill System Works
When gasoline is added through the deck-mounted gas cap, it travels through the large-diameter fuel fill hose and into the permanent fuel tank.
A separate fuel-tank vent system allows displaced air to escape while the tank is being filled.
The fuel fill hose, deck fill, tank connection and vent system all need to remain correctly routed and unobstructed for reliable refueling.

View 1-1/2" Chrome Gas Deck FillHow a Marine Fuel Fill System Works
The fuel-fill system provides the path from the deck-mounted fuel cap to the boat's permanent fuel tank.
During refueling:
- Fuel enters through the deck fill.
- The fuel travels through the large-diameter fill hose.
- The hose delivers the fuel to the tank's fill connection.
- The tank's separate vent system allows displaced air to escape.
The deck fill, fuel fill hose, tank connection and vent system all need to be correctly sized and routed for reliable filling.
Fuel Fill Hose Installation Tips
- Verify the deck-fill and tank-fill connection size before ordering hose.
- Use hose specifically rated for marine fuel-fill service.
- Make sure the hose fully seats over each hose barb or fitting.
- Use properly sized corrosion-resistant clamps.
- Avoid tight bends and kinks that can restrict fuel flow.
- Plan the routing before cutting the hose.
- Keep the hose away from sharp edges and moving parts.
- Do not allow batteries or stored equipment to crush the hose.
- Check both ends for leaks or seepage after installation.
A 2" fuel fill hose requires compatible 2" fittings.
If the deck fill or fuel-tank fill neck is 1-1/2", use the corresponding 1-1/2" hose instead of trying to force or adapt the wrong hose size.
Why Fuel Fill Hose is So Heavy Duty
Fuel fill hose is much larger and more heavily constructed than the smaller fuel hose used to feed an engine.
It has to handle:
- Large volumes of fuel during refueling
- Marine vibration and movement
- Fuel exposure
- Heat and environmental exposure
- The bends required between the deck fill and fuel tank
Because of its construction, fuel fill hose can be relatively stiff. Planning the routing before installation is especially important.
When Should Fuel Fill Hose Be Replaced?
Inspect the fill hose whenever the deck fill, fuel tank or surrounding rigging is serviced.
Replace the hose if you find:
- Cracks in the outer surface
- Hard, dry or brittle rubber
- Soft or swollen areas
- Abrasion or chafe damage
- Fuel seepage
- Persistent gasoline odor near the hose
- Loose, damaged or corroded clamps
- A hose that no longer fits tightly on the fittings

What Does Type A Marine Fuel Hose Mean?
Marine fuel hose is classified according to its intended fuel-system use, permeation performance and fire-resistance requirements.
Type A hose meets the applicable marine fuel-hose performance standard and also meets the additional USCG fire-test requirement. This makes Type A hose the appropriate choice in marine installations where additional fire resistance is required.
Type A1 vs. Type A2
| Classification | General Application | Permeation Class |
|---|---|---|
| Type A1 | Fuel-feed hose, including tank-to-engine applications where Type A hose is required | Lower permeation |
| Type A2 | Certain fuel-fill and vent applications | Higher permitted permeation than Class 1 |
For marine fuel-feed hose between the fuel tank and engine, federal requirements specifically identify USCG Type A1 as the Type A fuel-feed classification.
Always confirm the exact hose marking and requirements for your particular fuel-system installation before ordering.
When Should You Choose Type A Fuel Hose?
Type A fuel hose is generally selected when the fuel line is routed through an area where the installation requires the additional USCG fire-resistant hose classification.
This commonly includes many enclosed or below-deck installations, as well as other fuel-system layouts where Type A hose is specified by the boat builder, engine manufacturer or applicable regulation.

Why Do Different 5/16" Hoses Use Different Clamps?
The 5/16" measurement describes the hose's inside diameter. It does not tell you the outside diameter.
Type A hose typically has a different construction and wall thickness than Type B or OEM hose, so its outside diameter can be larger even though all of the hoses have the same 5/16" inside diameter.
That is why the MPI 313-1 Type A hose uses the Oetiker 4-170 clamp, while the Type B hose uses 4-153 and the Mercury silver hose uses 4-145.
What This Fuel Hose is Used For
The MPI 313-1 Type A fuel hose is intended for building, repairing or replacing compatible marine fuel lines where a Type A fuel-hose classification is required.
Typical installations may include permanent marine fuel systems, enclosed routing areas and tank-to-engine applications requiring Type A1 fuel-feed hose.

Need Help Choosing the Right Marine Fuel Hose?
