Re: Translucent tubing vs rubber hose?

[jerry-ahrens]

In all honesty, if I come across an outboard with that stuff on it, I replace it with the black gates hose. I just don’t like it, mainly because it seems to harden with age. As far as using tie wraps on hose, there are specially made one for clamping fuel hose. These are regular wire ties with special built in "hook" that wraps around the hose. McMaster car has them. Mercury and BRP also offers them.
