awoodman Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 I have tightened the hose clamps to the max yet they still drip. The fittings (thru-hull boat fittings) are barbed and the hose went on real tight but still leaks. What would be a good resilient sealant to use,not glue?

Dnepr Dave Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 I have had good luck heating the hose with an electric heat gun and clamping the hose while it's still warm and soft. I also use two hose clamps/connection. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
