Mine is a section of water hose between two through-hulls. The line runs through it and also the cockpit seat water drains into the centerboard trunk.  The problem when i got my boat was someone had cut the hose too short and it was leaking into the cabin.  (32 + points of water ingress.)
Water hoses are all the wrong size for the through hulls.  I found a best fit from dollar general cheap 1/2” hose. I heated it with a heat gun and managed to slip it all together with butyl rubber sealant on the barbs.
The trick is getting the line through the hose while bending it enough to get it on the through hull barbs.  A heat gun is needed to soften the hose but keep the line moving inside so it doesnt melt.
