On my 85 I'm replacing these also. I'm going to put flanged thru hulls for extra safety. I hate all the supposed above the waterline thru hulls that arn't valved. As soon as you start to motor or sail they become below the waterline. I'm going to go with sanitation hose as suggested. I just used some to change my macerator pump to manual and it was easy to work with.
