alpha one gen II . went to replace water intake hose next to the gimble bearing and. Cut into it to remove. Cmon a plastic water tube - I cut into the first 1/2 inch of it ( plastic tube)......... and while wrestling it to take it off felt it stress the plastic. Managed to get the new hose on but ....... Gonna have to check it for leaks because im not feeling a 100 percent. My sprinkler Lasco sprinkler couplings are better than that.. It was like milk carton plastic.

It is a lot easier if you go inside the boat and remove the water hose from the inside end of that tube, remove the bolts and the gromett and pull the hose into the boat. reassemble in reverse order.
