The strainer for our genset, interestingly enough, is in a different spot from your boat, it's mounted on the port side stringer next to the through hull, just aft of the genset. It's a little less in the way there. On my boat if I remove the genset battery, I can lay on my side and access the pump and/or the back side of the genset. My buddy and I were able to squeeze in there (not at the same time, lol) and change the exhaust hose on the fwd end of port muffler. So a smaller guy can for sure get to it without moving the generator.
I also pulled off the sound shield on my genset for reasons just like this.
