Appreciate anyones input. Im replacing my through hulls with stainless steel onces and removing the old ones are a bear especially the ones that connect to a 90 degree fitting that drains the forward deck. My question, what is the recommended way to remove the rubber hose from a barbed fitting given the confined area? I tried, hot rags to soften the rubber to no avail and it does not seem like the fitting will come out......thanks in advance
