Mast furling section drain

Is there a furler section drain?  The Charleston document refers to a "Water proof plug at deck level" which implies there is no drain.  Does this section eventually overflow to the outside??  I searched the forum but couldn't find any references.  Curious to know how this works.

My furling mast has a drain hole on the aft side above the deck. It gets clogged and has to be cleaned occasionally.

Thanks for the information.
Found the drain hole - sealed and taped over as part of the mast boot.  Lots of water came out. Fortunately it was fresh water.
