The best (not necessarily quickest) way to access that area is to remove
the entire two drawer unit from the aft berth area.   Empty the drawers,
remove the frame screws and set the unit aside in the aft berth.   Now you
can practically crawl into that area.

You will find that working in that area is still cramped.   There's no good
way to position yourself and your tools.   I have the admiral hand me tools
thru the head cabinet door.   That helps resolve some of that issue.

As an aside, if the thru hull is closed, that style pump will pump up to a
point and then stop being able to pump.   Our fridge just goes to the bilge
so we don’t have the y valve but I would assume that doesn’t impact the
thru hull needing to be open to get the pump to operate.
