How did you secure your Eberspächer exhaust

I think I am getting some seepage where my exhaust is fitted to the heater and/or the through-hull.

I am using 25mm genuine flexi Eberspächer pipe and s/s jubilee clips. I have tightened down as much as I dare but am not entirely convinced I have managed 100% seal.

I am not comfortable using gun-gum as it is pretty permanent, plus if I apply to the Eberspächer stub; some gun-gum will most certainly enter the pipe causing a restriction, it is only 25mm to start with.

Why do I think this, because every so often I get a whiff of exhaust (ignoring wind blowing it back on board). It is not strong, hence I suggest a weep rather than leak.

The jubilee clips do not seem to compress the pipe at all, is there a stronger more suitable method to clamp the flexi pipe onto the fittings?

Thank you in advance...

the proper clips are clamps with a 6mm bolt, not jubilee clips. They really clamp up good,although they are about £8 each. I also used Gun Gum on my joints, not a problem on both boats.
