The forward end of that pvc pipe is definitely clogged with chunks of debris, especially little pieces of the deck bonding adhesive.
In my opinion, everyone with a V20 should gain access to that end of the pipe (cut an access into the bottom of the fishbox).
Your 30 year old boat is a beauty but it needs to get all the pass-thrus in the stringers and bilge cleaned out. remove the rod boxes to gain access. You need long arms...
Also, (I preach this all the time) the fuel tank compartment is designed to be DRY. It does not drain to the bilge. You must seal the hatch with silicone.
