Live well hose replacement

[LEGO]

The hose for my live well is made out of crappy plastic, and has a big hole busted in it:



I have no idea why a quality vinyl tubing was not used. To replace the tubing, it looks like I will have to unscrew the live well from the deck of my pontoon boat. Does anyone have any advice before I start working on this?

the reason that a quality hose was not used is because it only needed to last the warranty period and it was cheaper than a high quality hose.

my advise - replace all the fittings along with all the hoses from the pump to the drains

What kind of hosing should I use that will not adversely affect the fish health (or mine)?

My hoses are trident HD reinforced PVC. The 12 yro OEM hose was still serviceable when it was replaced.
