Default Hole in the boat

Hey Guys, that's just a little misleading. However, in the cuddy area, under the slider i seem to have a drain hole (if it is it's considerably plugged or glassed up). is there suppose to be a drain there? If not, how else does water move through that area?

I have considered a drain in front of the slider as water DOES pool-up there, but I've never seen/heard that Wellcraft put one in...what does it drain to?...

can't tell if it drains anywhere or if it really is a drain hole . There's not a direct thru-hull, so if it is a drain I guess between the hull and deck and into the bilge?

I'm not sure on your model. My '94 has a drain there. I suppose it is for cleaning it or possibly where you could use it as a fish box. I can't think of any other reason I'd intentionally put water in that location.

Most boats have a drain to the bilge somewhere in the cuddy area. Need one up there for water coming over the hull orflooding in the cockpit so it will drain back to the pumps.
Usually located at the low spot in the cuddy. A lot of boats have them in the pilothouse floor also.
It should be just a hole going into the bildge and supposed to drain back thru openings in the stringers.
No thru hulls involved. Also I have seen them with a drain hose going back and without.

My 85 and 86 both had drain holes in the floor that drained into the bilge. If you get alot of water in the bilge, you'll get water coming up thru that hole. You can always plug the hole with a simple transom drain plug.
