Under the settee, there are two cutouts toward the bilge, with gaps under the floor to allow drainage. These channels are formed by blobs of vermiculite between the floor and the hull, so we're not talking about a consistent size passage here. It sounds like there just isn't enough room to jam a hose in. On my boat, it looked like with a little chipping, I would have been able to squeeze a hose through on the port side. That said, having never bothered to try it (and subsequently opting to rip out the floor), I can't say if it ever would have worked. Sounds like the classic 'small hose through the old hose' trick is your best option.
