Re: Row Boat Motor Hose and Clamps

[Buccaneer]

quote PM T2:

I like to twist some wire to squeeze the hose tighter around the fitting, since the fittings don’t usually have barbs on them. I don’t use hose clamps. Unless I hafta. Or if somebody else put them on and I’m too lazy to take them off. Or the pump output pressure is so great that it needs hose clamps to keep the hose from being blown off. Or if I’m running the motor in Australia, since every thing needs clamps on it down there (opposite side planetary gravity forces at work). Hope this helps. Won’t lose any sleep if it doesn’t.

Best,
PM T2

I was just looking at the Clamptite "type" of wire twisting, clamp making tools on YouTube.
Think I’ll make one. I wasn’t worry about the necessity of needing a clamps
on that little piston pump discharge pressure…… just was curious if anyone
knew what they had on them when they were new in the crate.
Sweet Dreams.
