The Hazard!

The flexible fuel return hose which runs from the fuel distribution block to the fuel injection pump may crack at the end of the hose, which could allow a small leakage of diesel fuel. If left unattended, the fuel leak could potentially lead to a fire.

What to do...

Stop using the boat and return it to a Mercury dealer for rectification. The Mercury dealer will replace the fuel return hose with a hose that is not subject to the defect.
