Wiring Loom into Outboard replacement?

[KilroyJC]

Hello all - <br /><br />I need to replace the rubber tubing that the harness & battery cables went through. I do not know if what was there was the OEM black rubber or if it had been reblaced previously.<br /><br />The motor is a 1975 70HP Evinrude 3cyl.<br /><br />Any recommendations/suggestions?<br /><br />I don't think the common automotive split-loom or spiralwrap loom is the way to go, and garden hose has too small an I.D. to pass all three cables. I tried using flexible conduit, but it is not flexible enough.<br /><br />Thanks for any help out there,<br />Matt M

Matt, I just did a search for "heat shrink tubing" on Yahoo and found a whole bunch of sites that carry the large diameter tubeing. Might be what yer' lookin' for.

matt try home depotm lowes for 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 inch clear pvc tubing very flexible and rated i think to 150 PSI inside pressure. should be very protective.

This stuff http://cableorganizer.com/chrome-mylar/#C might work and would sure look good.

Thanks everybody!<br /><br />Now...<br /><br />Anybody actually use any of these? 'Cause you know what a pain in the posterior it'd be to have the stuff get beat up by UV & weather, and then have to re-thread the electric cables through there (mainly the enging winring from the throttle control box...)!<br /><br />I do know the factory stuff from 1976 lasted rather well, until come critters decided to start munching on it ( and the intertior wiring, as well). I just ordered a new red plug harness, and I really don't want to have to do all this wiring again for a few years!<br /><br />Thanks,<br />M<br /><br />-----------<br />OBJ - <br /><br />I found this site http://www.oldbluejacket.com/ & initially thoguht it was you, based on the e-mail address & nautical theme...but Ohio & Nevada aren't exactly the same thing...
