You are not the first person to have this problem letting yard help fill your tanks. Gas, diesel and water tanks are constantly filled with the wrong liquid.
I suggest you have the travel lift operator tilt the boat side to side and fore and aft so there is a low point in the tank that is accessible. Then a drive around the marina to shake the water to this low point. Finally a length of copper tubing serves as a rigid hose to get in the corner. Use a pump with a diesel fuel compatible impeller. Carry extra filters on your next few trips.
