Uh, where do you plan to "drill a hole"? I think Wil E. Coyote tried
that in a roadrunner cartoon- and the results were less than
satisfactory. :-)

Use a bilge pump instead, then watch carefully to see whether you can
detect where the water leaks in. (Could be rain water, depending how
the boat is stored).
Once that has been determined, you will want to undertake repairs.

Your 14 boat almost certainly isn't an inboard, so you should ideally
have zero water in the bilge.

==================================

True story follows: A friend of mine in Connecticut had a college kid
maintaining his 40 foot sailboat one summer. Friend gets a call one
afternoon from the kid explaining why there is now a bolt in the
shower sump. It seems the sump had not been fully draining, so our
maintenance hero decided to drill an additional drain hole - right
through the bottom of the boat as it turned out. Not quite knowing
what to do with the resulting artesian well, he tapped the hole for a
stainless machine screw, put some bedding compound on it, and called
my friend for further instruction.

LOL! At least he was smart enough to use a SS screw! g
