Had to replace depth and speed sensors back in 2012 and I believe after I got the senors out, I had to cut the plastic sleeves to break them loose from the hull. Mine were flush mounted and faired in, so I think I ground away the fairing using a dremel, and then used a hacksaw blade on a handle through the hole, to slice the plastic sleeve, and then I pry ed them out individually.
The tricky part for me was caused by the newer sleeves being a size larger, so a friend gave me a tip. You find a holesaw the same size as the exiting hole and drill through some wood to make a pilot guide the same size as the hole you want to enlarge. Then you put the wood plug you made onto the pilot bit of the larger holesaw pilot bit, and it will keep the bigger holesaw centered and Bob's Your Uncle, you're all set. Good luck. Let us know how you make out.
