Marine spring band clips?
Was trying to find a source to buy these, but can only find automotive ones, looking to replace them on my Suzuki outboard. All I’ve found is buying them one at a time $3 from Suzuki. What’s everyone using? My boat will be moored in saltwater Thanks

Re: Marine spring band clips?
I'm not sure there is a difference in marine versions of these.
With that said, when I replaced a fuel filter, I used stainless steel band clamps.
They reside inside the cowling and seem fairly well protected from the sea water.

Re: Marine spring band clips?
I don't know if it really makes sense to produce spring band clips with ss steal. Becouse it does not have the strength of the specialised spring steel.
Take the normal one, give some grease on to protect. And replace every 9 years...
