Hello all,

Last time I was with the boat I noticed ATF fluid leaking from one of the hoses connecting to the power steering pump, the hose in question is the one with the jubilee clip not the ones going to the RAMS (I assume).

I'm not with the boat and forgot to measure the width of the hose required (and I'm a good 6 hour round trip away) is anyone able to help me out getting the right size hose please.

Thanks

Going to assume you are in the UK because the rest of the world calls them hose clamps
