If you pull the wire out as I suggest, you’ll find it pretty easy to remove the hose. The hose is so old that the wire will pull right out. That just leaves a soft piece of rubber around the barb that’s easy to cut. I don’t think you need to take the cabinets down.—

It depends on your layout. In my boat, access to the deck drain is in the far aft corner of a locker over the aft bunk. It is very difficult to reach.

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.

I copy my DVDs. The copy process removes the region code. According to the specs on the link you provided, the DVD player won’t play copies. The reason I copy them is to avoid having to worry about the DVDs being lost or damaged on the boat. When I cruise, DVD rental stores may not be within convenient walking distance from shore. The copies have the annoying coming attractions and copyright notices removed also. If I use re-recordable media, I can reuse the disk after I’ve watched the movie.There is some disagreement about the legality of making copies. Clearly, it is illegal to make and redistribute copies. IMHO, copying DVDs is the same as using a TIVO on any copyrighted broadcast. Everyone agrees that using a TIVO is perfectly legal. The cable and satellite providers even rent them. I see no difference between recording a copyrighted broadcast on a TIVO or recording a copyrighted distribution on a DVD. In either case, you can’t redistribute.
I’m in the process of installing a Track-it-TV satellite receiver on the boat. I may not need the DVDs anymore. I’ll have to see how it works out. Dish Network has a pay-as-you-go program. Instead of purchasing a long period contract, you buy dishNOW cards in either $30 or $40 increments. When you want to activate your satellite receiver, you call them and give them the activation number on your dishNOW card. After I’ve had a chance to evaluate it, I’ll let folks know how it works out. If you have kids, the distraction of a satellite TV might make life more bearable. It also receives Redsox broadcasts, which is important for many of us on the east side of the Connecticut river.
