I have a 2011 A20 and cannot figure out how to get to my front (center) drain plug and the front ballast pumps. I DO NOT have the black circular access port near the drivers seat. I have removed the large floor access hatch and all I can really get to is the top of the fuel tank. My front drain pump is seized up. Any ideas aside from taking out the fuel tank? I have considered contacting Axis for a retrofit access hatch and installing it since they apparently forgot to do it on mine. Is this common in the 2011's? or am I the only one that doesnt have an access hatch?

I have a 2012 A20 and it does have the front access cover, I have never seen an A20 without that access. You can purchase an aftermarket access port if the dealer wont assist you with this.

I don't know if the hole is big enough, but you could see if you can fit your hands where the tubing for the front pnp bag comes up.

If you remove the side panels to the front locker in the walk thru and try to get to it that way. But even though you may be able to get both hands(one per side) to there but it will be a blind feel as you won’t be able to see. I would venture a call to Malibu/Axis , send picture and see what they will do

You must live with water in your center bilge and how this never became an issue before now is amazing even if bought used

That's bizarre, I have a 2011 A20 and I have the black circular mid-ship access..... I would take it to the dealer and ask about it...
