[Rhodes22-list] Unsure how to remove “hose” for centerboard line

I attached a photo to the email, but I guess the server stripped it off. Here is a link to what I sent:

As I said, there are two layers of tubes, and these are *very* stiff. I've raised the tube as high as it can go, so when I raise it further, the fiberglass cabin threshold raises up. I'm concerned about breaking fiberglass past this point. Goodness, I'll grab some of the cheap hose and give that a shot - I'll simply cut the old tube off with a knife.

** I do have one question - there is a clamp at the top of the tube, and it is surrounded by fiberglass. There is no way of getting a screwdriver or nut driver in there apart from cutting out more fiberglass as far as I can tell. Is there any other option?

It's rained a lot this week. I drained 10 gallons out of the boat last week, and I'd say there is at least another gallon in it. I have 4 tubes of the 3M 4200 sealant - maybe I can get some of this resolved over the weekend.

Mine is a section of water hose between two through-hulls. The line runs through it and also the cockpit seat water drains into the centerboard trunk.  The problem when i got my boat was someone had cut the hose too short and it was leaking into the cabin.  (32 + points of water ingress.)
Water hoses are all the wrong size for the through hulls.  I found a best fit from dollar general cheap 1/2” hose. I heated it with a heat gun and managed to slip it all together with butyl rubber sealant on the barbs.
The trick is getting the line through the hose while bending it enough to get it on the through hull barbs.  A heat gun is needed to soften the hose but keep the line moving inside so it doesnt melt.

I’ve searched the forums, but I’m probably looking for the wrong part. I’m not sure what this is called, but I need to replace the line to the centerboard, and this is in the way. The hose looks double layered, and it’s very stiff. I recently bought this boat and removed 10 gallons of water from the bilge. It seems as if water has been leaking in here among a dozen other places. Can anyone provide me with ideas for taking the hose off? Thanks
