Hello All. I was wondering what the best rubber hose fuel line clamp is on my Evinrudes. I have the factory spring steel clamps on some and nylon tie straps on others, even the odd worm gear clamp. Any opinions as to what is best? Thanks, Rick.

I use the OMC/BRP ratcheting plastic clamps. Your John/Rude dealer has them, in various sizes.

The screw type clamps are frowned upon. I hated to see the spring type clamps go, but the plastic ones are OK. I still salvage any spring clamps I find. When it comes right down to it, the fit of the hose on the nipple is what counts. Clamps shouldn't be relied upon to stop a leak. They are more for keeping the hose from blowing off.
