[C320-list] Bilge Spaces

On my 1995 320, (# 205) I was cleaning the bilge spaces and found that the bilge space under the sink, directly under the companion ladder, does not drain into the bilge.  Isn't there supposed to be a connection between these two?  There appears to be a limber hole, but it seems to be piped right past this space.  I can only see into the space through the 4 inch hole under the port floor section.  I used my wet vac to draw about 4 gallons out through the inspection hole. Any suggestions how to get this section to drain. I also notice that the compartment where the bilge pump is located, isn't the lowest point in the floor.  Plan A was to wash and rinse each section and have it drain aft to the bilge pump. The water seems to drain forward toward the base of the mast.  
Thanks,
Gary Magnuson #205
