Yes, there is a baffle in the tank. My guess is your current access is at the fuel filler side. You then have a deck access cover over the aft side of the tank where the fuel pick up tube is. I installed (1979 22' Revenge) a 4" tank access plate by Seabuilt cutting a hole around the the fuel pick up tube. The 4" plate measures 6' O.D. and fits. I drilled and tapped a hole for the fuel pick up tube. I ended up with an access hole my hand fits through on the backside of the baffle. With a minimum of 2" holes on each side of the baffle you can have fuel polishing done or clean how you see fit.
