I'm in the process of replacing worst hoses. But trying to eliminate having to do this again. I had heard about vinager, but I'd also heard it didn't work. I trust the answers on this list more so than some other sources.

Vinegar is your friend. At this point you will be replacing them or beating the hell out of them on the dock, they sound too far gone for vinegar.

This is requiring me to make one out of fiberglass. No one makes a tank this size and shape needed. This led me to checking the hoses for condition. I found that the hoses from the toilet to tank are severely clogged. Not sure how any fluid was getting through. Currently with the aft cabin torn apart my boat is unusable for anything, including living aboard, which I am. My question is this. What does everyone use to help keep the lines clear? Do you pull them out every few years and clean them? Is there a chemical that I can flush down that will help keep them clean?
