I would think the aft deck drain on the Starboard side is worse – it's behind all the wiring and stuff – the port one I can climb into the port locker to do.

I used the white sanitation hose that West Marine sells.
Removing the hose is a bitch. The worst one to reach is the aft deck drain on the port side. I came up with a method that seems to work pretty well. Cut the hose with a sawsall, as short as you can. Grab the steel reinforcing wire with a pair of vice-grip pliers and pull the wire out of the hose. It takes a good tug, but the wire should pull out. Then cut the rubber hose off with a sharp knife.
If you missed the earlier thread, the hose that Pearson used needs to be replaced. The rubber gets brittle with age. Mine are all replaced now. Some of the hoses were pretty scary when I finally got around to removing them.
