I have water in the passenger floorboard. I am trying to clean out the AC vent hose but I cannot find it. Can somebody help with where the hose is at and how to clear it out. Thank you

There are 2 common leak paths in these S197's. The less critical one is due to the cowl drain plugs getting clogged. You can see the one on the passenger side below and to the right of the battery. It's a little rubber boot that clogs pretty easily and allows water to get into the cabin thru the cabin air filter. The other is critical enough that there's a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) on it. That one allows water to leak over the SJB (Smart Junction Box) located inside the passenger kick panel and will eventually corrode various connections and cause all sorts of electrical gremlins.

Welcome to the world of the S197 and to MF!

There are several hundred threads on the subject with links to various pics of fixes. The TSB will give you specific instructions on the common ones.

This is the TSB in question, complete with pics:
