It’s one of those simple little pieces that makes the whole setup work better—holding the tube steady so it doesn’t kink or rub on anything while the boat moves. Once it’s in place, the hose stays put and the rigging looks a lot cleaner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"426\" data-end=\"429\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"431\" data-end=\"900\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"431\" data-end=\"447\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"447\" data-end=\"450\"\u003e    • \u003cstrong data-start=\"476\" data-end=\"497\"\u003eHolds Speedo Hose\u003c\/strong\u003e – Keeps the tubing right where it should be.\u003cbr data-start=\"542\" data-end=\"545\"\u003e    • \u003cstrong data-start=\"571\" data-end=\"582\"\u003eOEM Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e – Sized for Mercury-style speedometer tubing.\u003cbr data-start=\"628\" data-end=\"631\"\u003e    • \u003cstrong data-start=\"657\" data-end=\"672\"\u003eSecure Grip\u003c\/strong\u003e – Cuts down on rubbing and kinked lines.\u003cbr data-start=\"713\" data-end=\"716\"\u003e    • \u003cstrong data-start=\"742\" data-end=\"761\"\u003eBuilt for Boats\u003c\/strong\u003e – Handles vibration, spray, and constant movement.\u003cbr data-start=\"812\" data-end=\"815\"\u003e    • \u003cstrong data-start=\"841\" data-end=\"860\"\u003eEasy to Install\u003c\/strong\u003e – Snaps or screws in with simple tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"902\" data-end=\"905\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"907\" data-end=\"1173\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"907\" data-end=\"938\"\u003eEngine \u0026amp; Boat Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"938\" data-end=\"941\"\u003e    • Mercury analog speedometer setups\u003cbr data-start=\"1000\" data-end=\"1003\"\u003e    • Water-pressure speed pickups\u003cbr data-start=\"1057\" data-end=\"1060\"\u003e    • Hull and transom tubing runs\u003cbr data-start=\"1114\" data-end=\"1117\"\u003e    • Standard 1\/8 in. marine tubing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1175\" data-end=\"1178\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1180\" data-end=\"1487\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1180\" data-end=\"1216\"\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Practical Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1216\" data-end=\"1219\"\u003eWith the tube held in place, the speedometer gets a cleaner pressure feed and tends to read steadier.

They stay tight even when the boat’s bouncing around, which keeps the tubing from wandering and causing bad readings. Most boaters stick with OEM because it avoids a lot of silly little headaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1781\" data-end=\"1784\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1786\" data-end=\"1924\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1786\" data-end=\"1793\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1793\" data-end=\"1796\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1796\" data-end=\"1828\"\u003e1.
