Different boat, but I pumped mine by removing the fuel level sender. You should have an access port somewhere.

+1 what Ric said.

On another note, is insurance covering that since it was vandalism?? Why not let them worry about it?

For the port tank you can remove the cockpit fridge/ice maker and get access to the the port tank. If you have a generator you will have to remove the starboard seat base and hole saw a hole in the forward portion of the stationary seat base to get access to the tank. I installed a 6" deck hatch in the hole.

How do I know? I had to replace both anti siphon valves.
