 |
|
On my Tom Cat, with Yamaha 150s a hose-like material, that looks much like a shop vac hose, covers some of the electrical and fuel connections from the hull to the motor. This has broken on one of my motors. I would like to replace it and need to know: (a) what is it called, (b) where can I buy it, and (c) how do I disconnect what is inside the hose?
You can see a bit of what I am talking about in this photo.
Thanks!
Warren

Warren-Fisheries Supply sells
"Slit Wire Harness Conduit - Split Loom" made for that purpose. No need to disconnect anything

And the ends are secured with nylon cable ties (heavy duty ones). Mine have slipped off of the rubber inserts on the engines Warren and I need to resecure them.

Hi Warren,
I assume you are sure it's broken (cracked, etc.) and did not just come apart. Mine has a solid segment in the middle holding the shop vac looking hose on both ends. I had to resecure mine once as well (I initially thought it was broken until I looked closely).
Good luck - looks like Matt identified the proper material.

Thanks, Matt! And what is involved in replacing it?

Yes, it is broken about 6" away from the motor. I have had ongoing problems with it and am wondering if it ages and gets brittle.

Pretty rugged stuff, so we haven't seen it breaking.
The bad news? Everything must be disconected at the engine, old tube slid off, new tube slid and and reattached, the reconnect everything. Not difficult, but time consuming. A split loom type would be easier, but would allow water in. |

Naw--Gorilla Duct tape is better--two seasons.
Actually there is another "solution" and this is one of the self amalgamating silicone tapes. On E bay you can get 12 yards of this 1" wide tape for $10. | Quote: | | is the inclusion of polydimethylsiloxane in the gel, which contains zinc oxide. This material is added to act as a UV inhibitor. This means that the tape is resistant to ultraviolet radiation from natural sunlight, which often contributes to the degradation of ordinary tape. It is also resistant to other environmental factors, including the effects of ozone. In addition, silicone tape is designed to withstand moisture, as well as contact with solvents, fuels, acids, |
There several different brands--Rescue Tape is one, but I believe that some others may be cheaper--and perhaps better for this application.

Hey!!! I have some rescue tape!!! Thanks, Bob!

But what would be better? I looked on eBay and the only tape that precisely matched your description was from Australia. So if you can give me an eBay item # that would help.
Thanks,
Warren |
