Sump in Bilge

So my latest project got out of wack. When I got the boat the sump in the bilge was broken and was removed and under a dinette cushion. I fixed it up and reinstalled. Much to my surprise I don't have a hose to connect to the output side. There are two hoses that feed the sump but no hose for the outlet. I can't believe that Formula would create a sump and then just dump it in the bilge. That would make no sense. I have multiple thru hulls under the swim platform but they all have a drain hose to them. I would appreciate any and all feed back. Even if you don't have a 26 PC, mine is a 1988, does your sump go to a thru hull? Thanks all.
 
2004 27 PC and my sump has a hose all the way to the back through hull under the swim deck. If you dont have one I'm guessing it was either removed at some point or has found it's way back into the bilge where you aren't seeing it. No way it came like that factory, someone has made a modification along the line.
 
I really appreciate the response!! That is exactly what I thought. The outlet for the sump points to starboard so I looked at the thru hulls under the swim platform on the starboard side and found three on that side and two on the port. Before I climbed into the bilge I thought problem solved. The extra one on the starboard side must be the one. Boy was I surprised when I saw hoses on all. The third one on the starboard side is for the bilge pump. Will have to dig deeper and again thanks.
