          Sierra replacement pump: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Fuel-Pump-for-Johnson-Evinrude-OMC-SIE-9-9hp-15hp-397839-9-9-10-15-hp18-7350/253177052489?hash=item3af2873d49:g:Kg0AAOSwkehZyxgS&vxp=mtr

          Yes, it looks nothing like your original, but will bolt (screw) right on.

          For the OEM version, search for P/N 0388685 on marineengine.com or other.

          There are cheaper, but off-brand can be dicey. Some people don’t like the Sierra line as they’ve had trouble with coils and other parts.

          Not a good idea to use ethanol.

            I used a B&S fuel pump on my 1960 Fisherman.
            The number on my pump is 808492.
            Here’s one on Amazon…..

            Not sure of the long-term results, but I don’t
            think they have much problems on the riding lawn mowers.
            Then again, if your mower quits, you don’t have to row home!

              It is possible to buy the diaphragm material in bulk from various sources and cut your own out. I do it and it works. But some pumps have things riveted to the diaphragms, and some are fussy-fiddly with little cups and springs that tend to escape.

                Are the clear lines OK for fuel? I’ve never had any luck with plain hose, is there a better type?

                    Clear lines okay for fuel if – They’re rated for it. That’s what they’ve been
                    using on snowmobiles the last 60 years.
                    -If the clear line isn’t subjected to something
                    very hot on the motor or excessive rubbing.
                    Just guessing that the outboard manufactures
                    use the heavy rubber fuel line as it’s "better"
                    for those circumstances.
