The layout in my 1979 22' Revenge has the fuel tank chamber, a guessed at 7" wide wall to the fish locker chamber, then a 9" wide wall to the splash well. I just installed a brass drain tube (none previously there) from the fish locker to the splash well. If I ever remove the fuel tank, I would install a brass drain tube from the fuel chamber to the fish locker. Then they would all be interconnected with an accessible bilge pump for water removal. I do a lot of drainage in my work and prefer gravity as my friend. I only use pumps and hose pick ups when absolutely the only method available. I do currently have a small hose with a screen that Phil mentions snaked through the fuel line tube. The same company (Beckson) that makes the Whaler deck access plates also carries a line of hand sumps/manual bilge pumps.
