Harsh chemicals should be avoided, for several reasons. One being they'll destroy the hoses. The plasticizers in the vinyl will not tolerate such harsh chemicals without risk of ruining them. That and the gelcoat surfaces out on the hull. The other reason is the environment, you do not want to be dumping that stuff overboard.
Since it's just hose, and it's short, it's pretty simple to simply clean it out with a brush. Aquarium hose brushes work well for this.
I'm assuming you're doing this on a trailer? If so that'd let you see what gunk gets pushed out. Might be someone's earring or other valuables. Better to get a look at it rather than just pushing it out overboard in the water.
Worst case, it's a short length of hose, just replace it.
