I have a Beneteau 50 Sailboat, 1996, built in France. It has a SeaLand VacuFlush pump and holding tank, and holding tank pump are installed under the swim platform. There is no access from the outside of the boat to this area. Inside there is a bulkhead (plywood, fiber glassed all around the edges) between the cargo storage area under the helm seats and the swim platform area inside the boat. Is it okay to cut a hole in this "bulkhead" to provide access to the pumps/hoses under the swim platform? I'm thinking one 3/4 meter long and 1/2 meter high in order to get in there and get the pumps replaced. Do you have any other ideas on how to service these pumps?
Thank you.
