My cockpit lockers are connected with reinforced hose to the cockpit

The lockers are draining slowly years of small particle's I assume
building up in the hose. I've flushed with hose from the dock lots of
pressure but still slow going. Some Say Muriatic acid any suggestions
out there


I'd try less-drastic methods first. Off the top of my head: Spraying
down the hose, then up. A bottle-washer scrubbed around. Take the hose
off and replace (it's probably time anyway). Take care, of course, as
you could see a lot of water if the through hull is below water. In that
case, I'd expect growth in the through hull.
