Hose & Hose Clips

Our Hose & Hose Clips range covers marine-grade hose for plumbing, exhaust and fuel systems, and stainless hose clips to secure it – components that need to be marine-rated rather than generic automotive or DIY-store equivalents.

Always use hose rated for its specific job – fuel hose, exhaust hose and freshwater/waste hose are not interchangeable, since each is built to resist the chemicals, heat or pressure involved, and using the wrong type is a genuine safety risk below the waterline or near an engine. Fit double hose clips on any below-waterline connection as standard practice, since a single clip failing on a through-hull fitting can let water in fast. Use stainless clips throughout rather than mild steel, which rusts quickly in a marine environment and can seize or fail.

Check hose condition each season for cracking, softening or hardening, all signs it needs replacing before it fails in use.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use the same hose for fuel and water systems?

No – fuel, exhaust and freshwater/waste hose are built for different chemicals, heat and pressure, and using the wrong type is a genuine safety risk.

How many hose clips should I use below the waterline?

Double clips on every below-waterline connection is standard practice – a single clip failing there can let water in fast.
