Default Storage Not Draining

This is my first season with the boat. We have a 4100scr. I noticed there is no drainage to the storage compartments in the salon/second birth area. Its clean so I am guessing its air con as its right there. I see a hole that will drain from compartment to compartment, but nothing that is letting it run to the bilge. Any thoughts, input? I hand bailed prob 10 gallons of water from it (season of air conditioning).

Where is the water coming from to begin with? Seems to me this area should be dry.

I believe it's from the air conditioning condensate. The water was clean and crystal clear.

I would try to redirect the water either directly into the bilge or into a condensate pump.

This is not unusual in some of the late 90's model. Our 4600 emptied into a forward compartment that held 30 gallons until it over flowed into the next aft compartment. I opted to take the AC condensate to my shower sump and it did require getting a long spade bit and an extension to get through some blind internal separation walls.

I just took the vent cover off the ac unit and i see a drain hose, but there is also a hose that uses the cooling water to draw out the collected water from the tray. i am confused now on where it could be coming from. i am going to dye the water in the tray and see if its whats in the compartments for suure. i hope its not a water tank leak.
