2008 Captiva 246 Cuddy, is there no floor drain in the Cuddy?

Just picked it up yesterday, had 2 inches of standing water on the floor in the Cuddy through the travel cover after heavy rain. I had a  2000 captiva 272, never an issue. Can anyone tell me if there is a floor drain that I'm not seeing, or if it is something I can add to the boat, the thing has to be able to drain!,,

    The floor in many cuddy's is the bottom of the hull, too low for a drain, and often the water is from the bilge, having sloshed forward while traveling on the trailer.  My two previous cuddy's I'd always make sure the plug was removed while trailering and keep the bow jacked up while parked.  Was never an issue while in the water.

    Hey Howard thanks, that could be the problem, it was parked covered with the bow slightly lower than the aft, the pole holding the cover fell over so water pooled on the travel cover after rain and wind .... I'll keep an eye on it
