Boy Jerry I had to look twice when you said you were using Sea Choice bulbs! (Sea Sense being so close). I don’t keep up with Mercury products much, but I did know they had a problem with a particular hose?
Different types of hose is needed for below deck (stern drive vs outboards) vs above deck. Same for anti-syphon valves. Most tank manufacturers just put one in anyway. A cheap one that gives problems! The hose below deck has to meet ABYC/Coast Guard burn test among other things. Some of that hose is over an 1 1/4" in diameter. Too bulky for our use. Very heavy. As far as the black getting on your hands, that is just a good gauge as a time to change it out. I find most of the PTFE hose gets hard as a rock when exposed to ethanol over time. A 2′ piece of that under your front seat makes a great weapon after it gets hard. Just my opinion.
