yamaha's oem fuel line is by far supirior to any clear colored anything. The clear colored stuff is crap, you will have to replace it often to keep the color and it gets hard and crumbles.
Why do you want to redo all your fuel line?

I have always used the colored stuff from Flow Fuel Line on ebay. OEM is the best but ugly. The color stuff gets hard after a season or 2 if you use 10% ethanol fuel. its cheap enough and you really should replace lines every season.
I have some orange fuel and water line i'm not going to need for a orange hull i was going to build. I can get you a fair deal if you take both.
looks like this.

Oem is the best. If you dont like the color, hide it in flex loom. Something is to be said about an item that lasts 20 years comoared to an item that lasts one.
All my blue fuel lines turned green almost immediately anyway.

I been using the OEM type from Jetmanaic. Someone said thrust is who is having it made? That stuff stays soft and stays on the nipples like it should.

Ive been running the OEM style stuff from JetManiac, which might be the same or very similar to what Thrust sells....but honestly, if you are running a freestyle ski, who cares as long as it doesnt leak? I could redo all of my fuel lines in maybe 15 minutes, which includes chugging a beer after I am done. If you want to keep the same fuel line for years, then you should probably buy the OEM style that JetManiac or Thrust sells, but otherwise....buy the color that matches best!

Oem if you can use the stock fuel filter holder as it was meant to be used. There aee lots of nice options out there if you prefer something with a different profile. My superjet and b1 use stock filters in the stock holder. I just moved the mount on my b1 since it was a single carb model with dual carb in it. My sxr and x2 use a lower profile filter from jetmaniac as they are cleaner with no holder.

Dude thats crazy to tell someone they should replace their fuel lines every season. If you use oem you may have to change it every 10 years.. There are plenty of ski running about from the 90's with the original oem fuel line and they still dont need it changed. Oem isnt ugly, it looks like fuel line.

Its not crazy at all. I replace my fuel line every season (granted I usually build a new ski each season) but its cheap so who cares. We spend thousands of dollars on these skis and its crazy to replace no more than 15 bucks worth a fuel line every year? Yes, oem fuel line or oem style is the "best" if you want to keep the same for a long time. But I like to switch up colors, so ill just keep doing my thing.

I haven't found a colored fuel line that has lasted more than 2 seasons. I replace mine every season because its so cheap. Not sure what you are complaining about; we are saying the same thing lol

+1 for Jetmaniac/Thrust OEM equivalent.
I just replaced the lines on my Waverunner III with it, can't be beat.
