I'm replacing the fuel line from here to boat motor. Approx 6'. Can I use a stainless gear clamp instead of this style?
Thanks

No reason why you cant. The advantage of the Oetiker clamp is that once installed it shouldn't come loose.
Sure, why not. Just don't over tighten and cut the hose. EFI hose clamp would be even better IMO.
Just be careful if the clamp is in a bad place that you have to reach past. I have never been cut up by that style of clamp. But I sure have with a spiral gear clamp.
I put EFI clamps on everything. Not so much because of the pressure, but rather the potential for damage from the gear clamps. Just my way.There's no pressure on it... it's a suction line...
All Lund uses is plastic quick click clamps..

Just another Salty to hold a Musky rod in the prop wash.. Full pursuit tracks, so I can set up anything I want... even lunch. I Musky fish the back yard here from about October first until I have to break the ice at the ramp, planner mast for BOQ wet socks and downrig for Lakers on Temagami..

I custom ordered mine in September 2006 for the 2007 model year. Now 14 years old, still looks the same other than a few scratches and thankfully the dozen LUND badges peeled off the seats, dash, side locker doors.. lol

Perfect, still a flat gunnel. They f'd them up before that and after mine with a stepped gunnel that you can't mount track to. Make sure you put backer plates underneath when mounting them..Yeah this one is an 05 and hardly a mark on it. Dealer I bought it from had sold/resold it 3 times since new. Very little use. No kicker but the 90 has a nice troll speed to it, or elec troller up front.

Steve, you could actually use a plastic zip tie on it.
I go to the local Picky Pull and grab a couple of German hose clamps of various sizes. The benefit is that they don't cut the rubber hoses.
Plus they have little BMW Mercedes or Audi logos etched into them.
