Gidday,
On an external trim tilt system,housed on board, would a hose clip, on an aluminium boat, (made of what was stainless steel), set up electrolysis, that would make the hose it was holding, brittle, and then snap when bent?.
The rest are just as old, and are fine, its just this one that was clipped.
Seems to be a flexible hose, covered with reinforcing exterior.
I understand that these Can these be made up at a brake specialist place.
Any ideas

David take the remains of your hose to Pirtek or similar hydraulic hose supplier and they can make them for you on the spot even with ally crimp fittings.
Good luck ;)
