Drainage

[Chimo]

Two easy questions.

2017 R25

Where does the water drain to from the cup holders in the cockpit next to the bulkhead? When washing the boat the water from my hose runs nicely along the sides, kept on board somewhat by the edging that helps with moving forward, to drain off just before the cockpit. Depending on flow a good portion can run off into the cockpit and the cup holders. I don't see it draining from there directly into the bilge and I can't easily see under the cup holders from either the cave or the lockers. Is there a pipe that takes it somewhere?

Now thinking about starboard cockpit locker. I recently had some warranty work done on the water heater which inevitably meant water draining into this locker. It all accumulated down by the transducer and I had to remove it with a shop vac. Is this locker intended to drain to the main bilge? I know there's a small drain hole from the transducer forward but that is for water to drain aft. I really don't want this locker wet as I use it for storage so I am happy if there is no connection to the bilge. Just want to know what I am dealing with.

Thanks

The cupholders actually drain right into the cockpit. The compartment drains actually run port to starboard about halfway up the locker from the rear. If you open the engine compartment and look by the sea strainer you will see the raised section in the mold with a hole in it. Might take a stiff piece of copper wire or something somewhat flexible and try to run through the tube from the engine compartment to clear the drains.

Thank you,
