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

[Goodness]

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
