Default Drain hole in my 1983 V20 step-lift

I have a project V20 that I am working on. I was cleaning out the cutty cabin and there is a large storage box inside the cutty that has a drain hole that looks like it drains to the inside/underside of my boat? I dont have any access to see if there is supposed to be a drain hose there or not. Anybody know if there is supposed to be a drain hose?

Can't see your photos, but I also have an '83. No drain hose. It drains into the bilge.

Like Pipe says, it drains to the bilge and eventually out the drain in the transom. If you re seeing water in there, the hull has to be raise pretty high in the bow to get it to drain. If it***8217;s still not draining, it s probably a blockage in the pvc pipe under the fuel tank.

I ll see if i can find some pics

Hers is a shot of the hull meeting the bulkhead that the cabin wall rest on, This is looking stern to bow. The anchor line locker also drains through here.
