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

Did alittle research on the forum and trid using a hair dryer to heat the drain hose. It worked like a charm......and the hoses quickly pulled off the barbed fitting.
