J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum The Boat, Sails and Equipment Cooler Drain Hose

I am trying to hook up a pump to drain the cooler into the sink, instead of it just draining into the bilge. The hose that drains the cooler has some holes/cracks in it (it looks to be original equipment). I would like to replace it, but can't seem to get to where the hose hooks up to the cooler drain (its hidden behind the fiberglass under the settee and floor).

My question is, has anyone changed this hose? If so, how did you go about doing it?

Thanks

I had the same problem and could not get all of the hose out, so I threaded a smaller hose inside. The problem is the small hose clogs up and I have to blow it out with an oxygen tank. If anyone has successfully replace the original, I am curious as to how to take the original out.
