Yes, I also was thinking it’s easy to pull up that panel and so was wondering why go to the trouble of putting in the slot. And besides, you still have to cover that slot with something to make the floor look nice

Theoretically, you should be able to use the slot to remove the numerous screws securing the cap to the flange on the centerboard trunk.  Removing the cap will give access to the centerboard from inside the boat.  In reality, it’s probably easier/faster to just pull up your subfloor board labeled “A”.
