Default cooler drain

Could someone tell me in which direction the hose goes from the cooler? And does it attach to anything? Thanks

Mine at first just ended under the cabinet so I bought new clear hose and routed it to the back so it would drain into the bilge area. It took all of 30 minutes to do and no problem since

Mine was routed onto the top of the gas tank when I 1st got it. That would be the same compartment that has no drains! Figure that one out.
I also ran a drain hose underneath the floor and out one of the drain holes into the bilge if I ever wanted to use the cooler. There is a small gap between the floor underneath side and the bulkheads where the hose can pass thru. Remove the gas tank inspection cover to help feed the hose thru.
