can anyone tell me what this is and what's its function is
The black accordion looking hose in the upper middle of the pic.
when you shake the ski a bit, this hose just wobbles around

It looks like it used to be insulation for a electric wire. Kind of a protector

wow a reply thanks
I own a 2017 RXT260 and i just got it back from the dealer, they replaced my IBR motor. I never noticed that rubber hose before so I figured I run it by this forum. maybe they forgot to put it back the way it was. I dont know, the ski runs perfectly, I will ask them when I bring in for oil service.
