I can't tell you how many cuts and burns I get per day during shrink wrap/winterizing season. Hose clamps, razor blades, smashing your head/arms off crap, zip tied electric wires, the damn lower unit bolt that's always frozen until your hand is in the perfect position to smash your fist. I could go on for days..

I actually custom tailored all the clamps in my Scarab when i had the motors out. Trimmed them with a sharp pair of sheers and chamfered the corners off. Each clamp only has a few of the screw holes of the worm gear left showing when installed and before i put them on I pre bent them a bit so that when tight the ends actually follow the radius of the clamp and are out tucked of the way. I also clock them to not point into open spaces.
