Thanks for the heads-up; I'm going to look at mine. I think you would have to remove that rear panel if it's like the 40.5; as I recall, it is similar. I would think feeding it from the cabin aft would be the way to go, but I think it's a two or three person job. Let us know how it went and good luck!
FWIW I ended up using a junior hacksaw to split the hose at the mixing elbow end because it had a death grip on the on the pipe which has a bulge on the end. Saw along the length of the hose to cut the steel reinforcing. The new goes on much more easily with some liquid soap or K-Y jelly. Do not use a petroleum based lubricants which can damage the hose.
