I am running a Johnson 90hp, and the fuel line is deteriorated. I want to replace it all. The line uses a hose clamp at the tank (in deck), and Ty Wraps everywhere else,should I do the same?

Double clamps at all fittings if possible.

If they are exterior fittings, then I'd go with double hose clamps too. Plastic just doesn't stand up to UV.

Do yourself a favor...if you have a squeeze/primer bulb somewhere in the fuel line....replace that too when you tear out/replace the old fuel line (if it's been around for a few years). And if you have a fuel/water separator filter replace that too...that way everything in your fuel system will be new and won't stand a chance of being contaminated by any "old" parts in your current fuel system. I wouldn't even consider zip ties or plastic clamps on any fuel line. Seems they ALWAYS break 5 miles from shore or the ramp. Use stainless clamps..and have 1/2 spares in your toolbox onboard.
