Regarding hose clamps my 2007 wake 155 sank on the Colorado river last year, how did this happen you wonder
The hose clamp on the large U rubber ,exhaust hose broke at the hose to aft pass thru connection
My wife was riding with me on the back and the ski got sluggish from a hundred or so gallons of water in the hull and then the engine inlet started to suck water 3 seconds later we were sitting in the water
A Good Samaritan boater towed us back to the doc
After tearing into the ski to fix the engine I found the broken hose clamp. It looked like a poor cheap made in China clamp.
I have been replacing all the skis hose clamps with prime quality hose clamps every chance I get.
