S2 Yachts 8.0b bilge access?

S2 8.0b Long Beach
Recently got a 1978 S2 Yachts 8.0b and the harbor requires that I install an automatic bilge pump.

There's a switch for one and a tube going deep inside the hull but I can't figure how to access the bilge. Pulling the tube out revealed no pump at the end.

I think a previous owner installed a new floor over the original access.

I started to cut an access in front of the engine but only removed one layer of floor before stopping as it appears the bilge is far from here based on the length of the tube.

Any ideas?

The hole I made is just big enough to slide a phone into and I have some idea what's going on down there. Perhaps I just try to access on the other side of that board with the two holes.
