Default Brp primer bulb

My primer bulb does not get firm so I want to replace it and the only one I see that's rated five stars is made by BRP and its for Johnson it's only a primer bulb so I should be able to use it for my Mercury fuel line, what do you suggest.

I used to use the BRP on everything, the only reason I use the mercury now is the distributor I got them from doesn't carry them anymore

I hate to say this cause it's causing the brick and mortar stores to close but Amazon got them for about 2600 dollars and free shipping too

West marine will price match amazon and they carry merc oem, at least here they do

2600 dollars seems a little steep

I know nothing is cheap anymore ,I did check around but that was the best price cause that includes free shipping, do you know where I can get it cheaper?

My uncle was running a brand new $200K+ center console his boss had just boat with brand new 225 Yamaha's. The boat from day 1 he said would fall over and stumble in rough water or after extended trolling/idling. Sent it in and they couldn't find anything wrong. A set of BRP primer bulbs and the problem was gone. More than once I've helped people out with the BRP primer bulbs.
