need a suggestion to plug a hose temporarily

[crazy charlie]

I want to clean a water fill hose by filling it with bleach.I would replace it but I cant unsnake it through the boat.I need to temporarily plug one end while I fill the other end with bleach.It is about 2" and I cant think of what to plug the end with.Any suggestions???Charlie

freeze plug with a hose clamp.or you can get a rubber freeze plug that expands when you tighten the center bolt.they are both avalable at your local auto store pretty cheap

Your standard beer bottle is 2.5 inches wide at the widest point, ought to fit nicely into that hole neck first if there's any give to the fill hose.
