CLIP 99001-06600 REC99001-06600

Function and technical context

This clip performs a clamping and retaining function on the pipe and duct systems of Yamaha and Mercury marine engines. Works to channel critical engine fluids, ensuring hoses and tubes remain in their correct position under vibration and acceleration. Its correct fixation prevents movements that could cause friction, coolant, fuel or oil leaks, as well as progressive damage to the hydraulic and power lines. Without this retaining element, continuous engine vibrations can cause micro-tears in the hoses and pressure losses in critical systems.

When to replace this part?

Retaining clips deteriorate due to material fatigue and plastic or metal aging, especially in saline environments where corrosion accelerates the process. Symptoms include displaced hoses, intermittent leaks in coolant or fuel lines, and increased audible vibrations in the engine compartment. It is recommended to check the condition of all fastening clips during each seasonal maintenance, and preventively replace those that show cracks, deformations or loss of elasticity, thus avoiding emergency repairs in navigation that compromise the safety of the boat.
