Depending on the age of the connecting hose and how straight the run
is, there is a possibility of piercing the tubing. I replaced mine and
the tubing was brittle and cracked quite easily. The drain and the
thru-hull were not aligned so there was an S curve in the hose.

Having recently removed and replaced the drain scabbard, thru-hull
and
joining hose I can tell you that it is extremely unlikely that you
will
damage anything in the drain by poking out debris. It practically
takes
dynamite to remove the drain as the material used is incredibly
strong.

I have a short section of stiff 1/2" rv water supply hose to use to
clear
the drain. It is flexible enough not to cut the drain hose but
stiff enough
to shove things out of the way. Mine clog frequently when dry
docked with
leaves that blow in from live oak trees. I am not sure if it would
work
with a barnacle.
