Flight Clip Bungee Replacement for $10

[bladespec]

Hey guys, if you're looking for a cheap/ quick fix for your bungees try this. Literally took me all of 5 mins to replace all 8 for $10. Parts from Home Depot.

Now that is a find... I was shocked when I just checked and my local store stocks them also. Thank you

That is really great, nice work!!
In the pic the tubing looks over sized (maybe deceiving) Did you think the smaller 1/4" ID / 3/8"OD tubing would work??

Looks great. Thanks for sharing!

Quinner it is a little over sized. The 1/4" ID would work great too. My local Home Dep was out of the smaller size.

The only down side is the length of the bungees and the tubing kinks. But for a few bucks this is amazing. Now to see how long they hold up.

Thanks

Bungees are 12"?

I've had 4 original bungees on my 2005 SV-211 fail this summer. I am curious about this fix. How are these holding up? They look significantly shorter than the stock bungees, so I am also wondering how they fit larger items like surfboards. I see the one in the pic, but does it fit easily?

Just got my boat with bungees hanging on by a thread. One trip to Home Depot and fixed perfectly. Cut the clear tubing to 11 inches and yes they make it around a surfboard especially if you place it in the inboard slot which is deeper. Will they last? Not sure but at that price you can replace about 10 times before you catch up to the official parts. I second the great tip! And 5/8 tubing is just fine.

Gentlemen, here's a tip from probably the only lady Nautique owner on this forum. Soak those gnarly clips in hot water, use the scratch awl like someone else had said. They SLIDE right out.

Hello, everyone. Could someone tell me where to buy these clips? Nautic has no more.
Thank you in advance

Flight Clips are no longer available. Your best bet is to watch for someone selling a used set.

Nice tip bladespec Did your clips come polished or did you do it? Do they all come in stainless?
