I do like bradford's idea of doing away with it, reguardless of the outcome.

you could rent one of the sewer snake camera's and confirm MJ' diagnosis.



this is a view looking toward the stern that is the bottom of the fish box before the tank

I bet you guys are right I kinda over did it with the foam it came up all the way to the deck during the pour I had to cut off the excess:) , and in fact did NOT wash the Boat down until this weekend hence my discovery!
If that's the case I will sleeve it with a smaller pipe after I clear it using a hole saw attach to a pipe or something brace your self the photo will follow with what I am thinking at this point.
You guys are simply awesome! Thanks to all

I wouldn't spray any foam in the boat. My fuel tank had holes the size of your fist when I pulled it out due to the foam absorbing salt water and rotting it out.

This is true, however I replace mine with a Poly Tank and it was just loose I figured I will encase it in some foam (this stuff is not cheap) now this issue..
