to cut the hoses, both old and new. Then a pair of good diagonal
cutters

for the wire.
The like was mentioned, a razor knife to make a slit and a pair of water
pump pliers to grab what was left of the hose and pull it off.
Trident makes a low permeation fuel fill hose that I bought. I haven't
done that job yet, just the sanitation. The fuel fill hose on my boat
is one and a half inch.
Take you time and don't get frustrated. it is a stubborn job job not
all that difficult. I also used a heat gun to heat the hose and dish
soap for lube to get the hose on more easily. it works!!

The diesel fuel filler hose, running from tank to deck fitting, is
original on my 35-3. It is badly cracked and in need of replacement.
This was noticed on an insurance survey at the ten year interval. It
appears to be of a rubber compound. I find it impossible to move. Any
hints as to how to remove this 2 inch external hose without damage to
the end fittings. If it is just rubber it could be cut but wonder if
there is a metal spiral in the construction. Have not tried heat on
the ends and am leery of doing so with a full tank of diesel. After
the removal , then there is the question of finding a replacement.
Suggestions requested please.
