Does anyone know how to remove the v-berth panel in a 2002 353? My anchor locker drain is clogged and I would like to get access to the drain hose to check what's clogging it.
Also, does anyone know how to remove the couch cushions in the cabin? Thinking about adding A/C some day and would like to know how to remove them so the plumbing and electrical can be run under the cushion.

You don't want to access the hose from inside if you have water sitting in the anchor locker. You'll get an awful mess inside your boat.
Best to use a flexible probe, like a wire snake, from the outside drain fitting into your locker. May need to add water to the locker to help flush out the crud. Likely mud/vegetation came up with your anchor and is clogging the line. Formula made that drain line too small in my opinion.
