I don't have a similar model but I assume there are no tabs or blocking from the locker to the hull keeping it fixed. An adhesive might have been used under the flange which might make it difficult to impossible to remove. Too much force might crack the locker but it should take significant loads if you wanted to try forcing it upwards - if you can get beneath it.
You can add a drain to the other side from inside the locker with a hole-saw and put in another flanged thruhull like you have on the existing side. Keep all the hose, connectors and Y's with at least a 1/2" inside diameter.
