CLIP 3.5 93430-06005

Function and technical context

This 3.5mm retaining clip is part of the component fixing and retention systems on Yamaha, Mercury and Parsun marine engines. Its function is to secure and maintain critical engine elements in position, avoiding vibratory displacements that could compromise the integrity of adjacent pipes, ducts or mechanical parts. When the clip wears out, loses elasticity or is damaged, it allows micro-movements that generate resonant vibrations, with the risk of accelerated deterioration of adjacent parts and possible leaks in cooling or lubrication systems.

When to replace this part?

The clip should be inspected during each seasonal maintenance, especially after intensive sailing or in conditions of constant vibration. If you notice cracking, permanent deformation, loss of grip tension or discoloration indicative of material fatigue, it is time to replace it. Preventively replacing this type of clip avoids more complex repairs derived from abnormal movement of adjacent components and guarantees the mechanical stability of the motor.
