S195--What's under the inspection ports under the carpet just forward of engine compartment?

[Jay Dunham]

I removed the inspection port covers under the carpet just forward of the engine compartment and now wondering what I'm seeing. I have an S195 ID. The port and starboard ports seem to have tanks and the middle might be a pump? I don't have ballast 'wakeboard' setup on my boat. I was hoping to find better access to sump pump, which seems really slow. Wanted to see if it's blocked with debris of some kind.

I believe this is the fuel pump access cover.
I'm curious if yours is getting weak? I have read that some people have had theirs break completely and that then damages the fuel pump.
It's right where your foot wants to land as you step down into the boat. I'm looking for a stronger upgrade/solution, that's a winter project for me.

Makes sense to be the fuel pump. Still curious about the other two. I wonder if they are the wakeboard ballast tanks featured in upgraded models. Perhaps they just put them in all models? Upgradable?

My inspection cover seems pretty strong so far.
