What is the opinion on the type of hose for deck drains. Hardwall? Softwall? In the process of replacing the aft deck drain hoses and deck drains, maybe even replace the plastic thru hull fitting. Now remember these are the drains that are at the water line or above (depending on where your water line has been painted).
After taking the hoses off, I am again not disapointed that I started this horrible job.

Hi Alan,
My preference is hard hoses – the white ones like for heads. I know these things are exposed to my incompetence with things heavy and sharp. I like the extra measure of strength.
The black wire-wound hoses are good, too, but after years they tend to get sticky. I don't like that.

Alan,
I replaced my old drain hoses about four years ago with hard, white sanitation hose.
While in the Bahamas last year I discovered a broken 11/2 plastic fitting through the transom (old inop. bilge pump exit) about six inches above the waterline which explained why I had been, intermittently, getting water in the bilge that I could not account for.
I spent today replacing all the plastic fittings that exit at the boottop with Marilon. One of them (condenser exit) broke as I was removing it. So, I would highly recommend that you do the fittings as you replace the hoses.
