pulling up the tank cover wont show you anything except the top of your tank. Got to get at from behind.
If you pull your gas tank lid all you are going to see is this:

Sometimes a shot of compressed air in the pipe from the aft end towards the front works wonders ...especially if it's leaves that are causing the blockage.

the pipe with the cinder block is the one that is probably clogged. This is a rebuild from Captain Petes boat....He installed a pipe in the forward area as well to drain the cuddy but my 87 cuddy doesnt have that as I can see the bottom of the boat through the drain hole in the cuddy floor and the fish box which is in front of the fuel tank.. Just the one that goes under the fuel tank. you're looking for something like this:

 this is what you would see if looking aft under the fishbox. i have an 83 cuddy o/b in which the fishbox is midship and the fuel tank toward the stern.  this is looking toward the bow at the bulkhead under the cabin door. the problem with just blowing the drain open from the stern is it will probably just stop up again. i had to install a hatch to get in there and clean out debris that washed down the drain in the well in the cuddy.  also a great place to store wet, bulky items

Ok.. I see, thanks for the great pics.
Where did you get that hatch? My tank is before the live bait well, my boat says it an 85 but the eng could be an 87?
