My mast drains out a half inch tube from the mast. In the winter I have a
vinyl hose that goes out through a transducer hole and keeps the bilge dry.
I have a felt wick inside that tube to pull it uphill where need be.
In the summer it drains into a plastic pan, and I try to get down there
after

On the 1989 34R, the maststep is a deep welded aluminum box with wooden spacer
blocks in front and behind. The box originally had one 1/2" drain hole but the
wooden blocks always looked wet. I added two 3/8" drain holes and also
scallopped the bottoms of the wooden blocks so they left a path
My 1995 C 36 XL/kcb had a hole as well--I found it as I was cleaning out the
mast step to drill a hole!

I have a 1980 C 34. Keel stepped mast step gets water
My mast step had a drain hole which got plugged with debris. You might have
one as well. Drilling a small hole won't cause a problem.
