Preface: boat is in friends barn, so I can’t just go look at it. I’m going to be doing a bunch of gelcoat wet sanding, buffing, etc, and I’d like to pop my pissers and bilge outlets out of the hull for easier sanding. To access them, the rear panel in the rear starboard storage compartment has to be removed. Well, it would be exponentially easier, anyway. I just thought I’d see if anyone knows offhand how it comes out, so I can take the tools necessary with me. This would be the panel with the access port to the YDS ports.

I'm pretty sure I did mine through the clean out tray. It's still a pain but I'm sure I didn't remove that interior panel. I may have done some work through the plastic access hole on that panel.

Yeah, I just got all the fittings out. Started trying to remove the panel, and realized it was going to be more work than it was worth. With the blower and flush hoses going through it, it just wasn’t worth it. Was a PITA, but got them. Hopefully I’ll have a second pair of hands for reassembly.
