I have some exhaust hose/components on my boat which were secured
using soft steel strapping. Obviously that hasn't held up too well.
I'm looking for 1/2" or 3/4" perforated stainless steel strapping.
My on-line searches haven't found anything. Does anyone know of a
source?


On my last boat we used 1" and 2" nylon webbing. Very kind to the
soft exhaust hoses and easy to install. Just heat an awl to melt a
hole for a screw where you want it. Wrap the webbing 1 turn around
the hose so the hose can't move fore/aft. Never a chafe problem
