Default Fuel Tank Access

I've been having a problem fueling the boat since the beginning of this season and I think my vent may be clogged. (See 'Fuel Tank Problem' in the Tech section.) I can see where it goes out the side of the boat, but how do I get at the tank end? I couldn't see an access plate anywhere.

The one place I didn't look because all my junk is in there! Unfortunately, the vent hose I want to get at appears to go down forward, under the cabin.

My sending unit and outlet also is under the rear seat, BUT, the fill and vent hoses are under the floor near the cabin entrance. I can use a mirror and a light to see the connections by damn near crawling into the passenger side front compartment. I don't see anyway to do anything other than LOOK at those fittings w/o cutting the floor open. If access is needed and as a last resort, could always measure carefully, cut and install an access cover in the floor over the connections

BTW, maybe we have the same problem. I can not fill at full pump flow, otherwise it blows out thru the vent. I can only go 1/2 flow when filling. I think mine is more of a too small vent hose and fitting vs. a plugged hose.
