By flashing you mean the deck plate that is the water fill fitting? Depending on the length of the hose from the deck plate to the tank it may not have enough slack to extend beyond the deck to take it apart. I'm not familiar with the 40 DA as I have a 44 DB but you should be able to gain access to the fill hose from inside the hull, disconnect it and remove the deck fitting to free the hose end. In future use a cut off section of hose with only the female fitting to attach to a hose to avoid getting it stuck.
Hope this helps. The deck fitting even with the screws removed is bonded to the deck with 3M 4000 or better so you will need to use a sturdy putty knife to free it. It goes with out saying, use 4000 to re-bed it when you put it back.

As Carpe mentioned, removing the deck plate (flashing) isn't going to help you. Short of removing the hose on the underside, just keep trying different ways to pull it - even just getting Superman on it like SBW1 said.
Is it possible that the hose end is in far enough to get stuck on the lower lip of the deck plate nipple? You might try pushing it in further and/or twisting and pulling. Try jiggling back and forth, in and out, as you pull as well.
Astroglide perhaps...hmmmm
Removing the chain would probably solve the problem, although I can’t be sure it is not catching on the lower lip. It feel very solid. What would be the downside to simply cutting the hose and allow it to drop in the tank?
Nerds come in all types, like the ones who cruise around with fenders still hanging off the sides!!Got it out!! My friend used a thin filet knife to slide beside the hose head and push out on the plastic conduit enough to dislodge. Whew! No more being a Searay nerd with a hose hanging out the side of the boat. That loses cool points on the lake!
Wait for it..........Whats wrong with leaving your fenders on? I'd rather be cruising than constantly removing and installing fenders!!
