Nothing really, if sand/stuff starts accumulating in there I will use a sponge to pull it out. My cockpit cover does not cover the lower swim platform so mine usually has rain water in it. This is one of the things I make sure is dry during winterization.
is this an on the water issue or a during storage issue,
I wouldn't drill a hole,
in the cockpit it will drain over the gas tank and then have to work it's way to the bilge, why insert more water there than needed,
on the swimdeck - I don't think it would be a big deal only again, every time someone get out of the water it's all draining to the bilge, every time you stop and wave comes over the back, at the end of one of my days that's going to be 50-100 times that holder fills/drains, sure the bilge will pump it out or the drain at the end of the day, just why, it's wet or the passengers have wet feet anyways,
I had a piece of pool noodle that I put in the hole, then I put the drain plug in the noodle hole.
That pushed the water from washimg
The boat out and prevented it from filling when my old cover leaked water onto the swim deck.
