Professionally Cleaned & Flow-Tested "Pink Tip" Injectors by Buckshot Racing #77
The Mercury Fuel Injector Assembly 18715T, commonly known throughout the Mercury performance community as the "Pink Tip" injector, is one of the most recognized EFI fuel injectors ever used on Mercury's legendary 2.4 and 2.5-liter V6 outboards.
Found on countless bass boats, performance lake boats, and high-performance Mercury EFI applications, these injectors play a critical role in maintaining proper fuel delivery, throttle response, idle quality, and overall engine reliability.
As these injectors age, internal deposits, varnish buildup, contamination, and deteriorated filter screens can affect fuel flow and spray patterns. Even small variations in injector performance can create cylinder-to-cylinder fuel imbalances that negatively affect power, fuel economy, and engine durability.
To restore factory performance, every used injector sold by Buckshot Racing #77 undergoes a comprehensive cleaning, inspection, and testing process using our industry-leading ASNU Classic GDI Injector Servicing and Flow Testing System, one of the most advanced injector service platforms available.
Restored to Factory Specifications
Unlike unknown used injectors pulled from running engines, each Mercury 18715T injector is professionally serviced and verified before sale. Every injector receives ultrasonic cleaning, internal back-flushing, leak testing, spray pattern analysis, flow testing, and installation of new internal filter screens.
The injectors are then tested to verify fuel delivery and consistency before being approved for sale. This process helps ensure balanced fuel distribution across all cylinders, which is essential for maintaining proper EFI performance and protecting expensive Mercury V6 powerheads.
Why Fuel Injector Service Matters
Many EFI performance issues are caused by injectors that appear functional but no longer flow evenly. An injector that is partially restricted can cause lean-running conditions, hesitation, poor idle quality, hard starting, reduced power, excessive fuel consumption, and elevated engine temperatures.
Professional cleaning and flow verification help restore proper fuel delivery while providing confidence that each cylinder is receiving the fuel volume Mercury intended. For performance engines, balanced injectors are just as important as proper compression, ignition timing, fuel pressure, and reed condition.
Commonly Known as the "Pink Tip" Injector
The Mercury 18715T injector earned its "Pink Tip" nickname from the distinctive pink-colored injector tip used on these assemblies. Over the years, Pink Tip injectors have become a familiar sight on Mercury EFI V6 engines and remain one of the most sought-after injector assemblies for maintaining original EFI performance.
Because many of these injectors are now decades old, professional servicing has become increasingly important for owners seeking reliable operation from their classic Mercury EFI engines.
Broad Mercury EFI Fitment
The Mercury 18715T Pink Tip injector was installed on a wide variety of Mercury Marine 2.0, 2.4, and 2.5 Liter EFI V6 outboards. Common applications include Mercury 150 HP EFI, 175 HP EFI, 200 HP EFI, and 220 Laser EFI engines, along with performance favorites such as the 150 Pro Max, 200 Pro Max, 225 Pro Max, and various Super Magnum EFI models.
These injectors are also frequently found on Mercury's popular XRi EFI platforms, including the 150 XRi, 175 XRi, and 200 XRi, as well as numerous V-150, V-175, and V-200 EFI models. Additional applications include V-150 Magnum, V-175 Magnum, V-200 Magnum, and select 175 Ski EFI engines.
Collectively, these engines represent a large portion of Mercury's legendary 2.4-liter and 2.5-liter EFI V6 product line, making the 18715T one of the most common injectors used in Mercury performance boating.
Value Compared to New
A new Mercury 18715T injector currently carries a retail price of approximately $817.99 each. Buckshot Racing #77 offers professionally cleaned, flow-tested, and verified injectors for only $100 each (USED), providing substantial savings without sacrificing performance verification.
For owners servicing an entire engine, the savings can be dramatic while still receiving injectors that have been professionally restored and tested.
