Performance & Practical Benefits
With the tube held in place, the speedometer gets a cleaner pressure feed and tends to read steadier. This clip keeps the hose from sagging, rubbing, or getting snagged on hardware. It’s a small part, but it helps the whole speedometer system behave the way it should.

Why Buy OEM
OEM clips fit the hose properly and don’t crack after a season or two. 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.
