Tips/tricks to ease removal of rubber hose from sea water pump

[Clash]

Every days a schoolday. Got to winteris my new to me S34. Been reading up what to do and was concerned the pipe may not come off easily. I was then going to ask what the tool in the video is called, but just googled it. I won't be doing mine untill the end of the month when the boat gets lifted out of the water. Where there is no shore power so the foredeck crew's hairdryers won't work

You could get a 12v one.

Have often run antifreeze through the seawater system via muffs on the sterndrive Volvo 4 and 6 cylinder diesels.
There is a circular water pick up hole lower front of drive that needs plugging prior to flushing

You could also use this tool. Depending on access of course, but seems to work in almost any situation. About 1:30 into the video.

I could make one of those with an old screwdriver and a induction heater

And a grinder to take the screwdriver blade down to a point. Or just buy a set for less than 20 quid.

I was looking at a set on Amazon.

The one on eBay looks like the same set. A lot cheaper.

You've got to be careful not to pierce the hose with those bent hook remover thingies.
