My 07 EFI has no prime bulb. The engine manages the fuel lift.

But there is at least two, if not three fuel filters you should inspect.

My son’s 150 FS Merc on his tritoon (2015 I think) doesn’t have a primer bulb in the fuel line.

My 2016 60 FS Merc does. Though it usually is firm when I squeeze it, a couple of times when it’s sat a while I get a couple of squeezes out of it.

I prefer having one for peace of mind.
