Default how to clear the drain from the ski locker of a runabout

Anybody have ideas about clearing the drain between the ski locker and the
bilge?
Mine is clogged about 14" before the opening into the engine box. I suspect
it's a screw or bolt: I haven't been able to dislodge it, but can sometimes
get a snake past it.
The end in the ski locker is level with the floor of the ski locker, so I
can't get my eye down there to look through the pipe.
The end in the engine box only has a couple of inches of space before being
blocked by an engine mount, so I don't have much space to work there.
I considered drilling a hole in the floor for access, but the drain runs
under the 24 gallon fuel tank.
