I removed and reinstalled the scuppers omitting the silicone gaskets. During the initial install, I used an exhaust pipe expander I have from back in the days before stainless steel exhaust systems. When I removed them, the drain lines were still sufficiently expanded to slide off easily after removing the hose clamp. I put the expander back into the disconnected drain line to make sure it went back on easily. I found a tool at the local Ace Hardware that looked a lot like the one from Amazon. I did have to grind the outside of the jaws a little to get them around the nut and inside the 3" hole on the inner hull. The entire job took about 2 hours.
Thanks for your help.
Keep that wrench handy, if it's anything like the one I have, it's perfectly sized to tighten down the nut on the backside of the latches, like the cleanout tray or deck storage bins.
