Thanks everyone for the guidance, after some careful probing I was able to verify that the hole in the bow was glassed over. A couple of nervous minutes as I drilled from the locker out towards the bow, but everything worked out.  

 Tom
Hull #183, yet to be named

I assume based on your replies that the hole in the bow  should be in a straight line below the inside drain?  I will investigate further, it would be good to return to the original configuration.
