Leaking Livewell Hoses HELP!!

[93SNS]

I have a 1993 19' sea nymph stinger deck boat....aluminum-riveted hull. The rivets aren't the current problem (but it looks like they will be in the future by all of the leakers in this forum!!) My leak is coming form the inlet hoses to the livewells ---pumped water in--with boat out of the water...half went in the wells, the other half in the bilge! My question is.....is there any way to replace these hoses without completely dis-assembling the boat!?!
I have a couple of access holes (small) that will allow me to see the hoses but thats about it... Anybody who has tackled this project before or knows anything about, please respond. My only thought at this point is to cut some more 4-5 inch access hose (stategically placed??) and cap them afterwards...thanks to any and all responders...

Re: Leaking Livewell Hoses HELP!!

How about a hog ring attached to the end of your old hose with a line, pull the hose out pulling the line thru, attach your line to the new hose and fish it back thru with the line after you decide how your going to gain access to the inlets.

I appreciate the thought.....the only issue here is that hose (s) turn some corners and go thru some tight spots that will not allow a simple "pull-thru".
