Phat the rod boxes openings extend rearward enough to easily do what you need to do. I believe the port side deck drain or floor is lower than the thru hull. However, the height of the opening on deck is enough to allow it to drain with a bit of water always in the assy.
The fuel tank can be removed by cutting the soft patch. Wellcraft was smart utilizing a plastic tank in lieu of aluminum. No drastic temp changes with plastic VS aluminum which means no condensation or very, very little.
The 90-degree deck drains are factory originals. The plastic fitting above deck is thin and they crack over time. I sourced a pair from West Marine and just used the above deck pieces. The threaded male portion could have been just a little longer since the elbow below deck has only a few threads started in it. I used 3M 4200 on all threads to help seal everything and give it a little more rigidity. 4200 was used on all 5 thru hulls as well.
