Doesn’t the red hose run to the hose hookups for flushing the engine?

just picked up a 2023 AR195s.. and boy, they made this a near impossible task to do. the access hatch is on the opposite side (starboard) of where the hosing is. I wanted to install a valve so i can flush the engine while in the water if i was going to leave the boat overnight. i'll have to either brake the silicone holding down that entire cover or cut out a section on the port side to install another pop hatch. why make it so difficult to access an area you need to get to during an emergency?

Because it's Yamaha, and there's no emergency when assembling the boat
If you don't already have one, a hose removal tool will also be helpful, as there SHOULD be silicone around the cleanout tube on the underside of the tray on the fitting, and that will help you with breaking that initial seal. Don't forget to re-silicone that tube when you reinstall the tray, as water in the tubes can leak down in that area as well. Here's the tool I'm talking about, and it's called a hose removal tool, often used for radiator hoses and the like.
