Looks like I have two choices. Cut away at the second inside hull skin or install maybe a 3" access plate??? This is just to get to the threaded ground screw and hose clamps. Shoot me now!!
My favorite at the house right now is my .45 acp, will that work out OK?

If I remember correctly there is at least two wrappings of cord on filler hose between the outside and inside of the hose. Other than what looks like dry rot in your picture these things are really, really tough. Can you get to the hose where it goes in the tank, disconnect, plug and then fill the hose and see if it leaks?
