If you can use boiling water to install (dunking) and remove with various techniques…and gloves it works a treat.

I had to replace the hoses to my holding tank. I tried combinations of 'hook' removal tool and dremel tool (with the cutoff wheel) to break the hoses loose from the barbs... Heat gun is highly recommended for loosening up a crispy hose.

My hope is the softer hose will eliminate the need for that tool.

They look like a screw driver with a hooked end. Work great to work the hose loose from a barbed fitting and then pull it off. You have to buy a set, but you wind up with different sizes and styles you can divide between the boat, the car, and the garage shop.

While I realise that they may not be Approved, as Joel notes, where I need to remove these occasionally these are a godsend. Like me, they have no memory, and are simple to remove. With that in mind, I always use two good quality SS Clamps on them. For me, the only downside is that they are pricey, but there is a local Hose Vendor that has pretty good prices. I wouldn't use these for a major suction purpose.

I did not know there was a more flexible version of non-collapsing hose. I thought about using reinforced PVC and did not realize it might kink so you saved me from that mistake. Have you tried to get the softball hose off and on a barb yet? If it is easier to remove, that would solve my problem. Have you considered using grease to help?

(Negative pressure more an issue than positive pressure) I had a fibre reinfoced clear pvc reinf sink drain hose kink at a bend point and replaced it with MPI series 110 hose, which was much easier to work with than the stiff Lloyd’s approved stuff I had used elsewhere. I’ll use it to replace the clear stuff on other through-hulls in future. <110-Softwall-Water-Cut-Away.jpg> Series 110<https://marinehose.com/product/series-110/> marinehose.com<https://marinehose.com/product/series-110/> Dave Sent from my iPhone On Apr 10, 2025, at 12:17 PM, Joel Aronson via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com<mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com>> wrote: David, There is an ABYC standard: Hoses that connect to underwater fittings should be manufactured to SAE J20R3 as a minimum and marked as such on the outer surface. They are reinforced (and yes, stiff). You could use wire reinforced clear hose. Less stiff than the black or sanitation hose.

It makes bends difficult/impossible and makes it difficult to remove the hose from the barb. It seems like overkill in a situation where there is little to no pressure on the hose. Something like Tygon/PVC tubing would seem adequate and much easier to work with. I would think the same would be true for the raw water cooling hoses. Am I missing something?
