Your front box should drain through a "Thru Hull Fitting"; A threaded pipe that has a flange on the outside hull surface and a nut that tightens on the surface of the fish box.

The fish box, the deck and the interior sides are the "Liner". The liner is attached to the hull in certian structural areas not the entire hull. The area of the fish box drain has a block of wood between the liner and the hull so the thru hull fitting can be tightened enough to not leak. If there was nothing solid in that area, tightening that fitting would break the liner.

Over time that wood block rots away and the fitting becomes loose and leaks water into the bilge between the hull and thru hull fitting flange. The fix is to remove the thru hill fitting. Use a wood chisle to remove the rotted wood. Use an epoxy filler in place of the rotted wood. Redrill the hole Put a bead of 5200 sealant on the flange and install the thru hull fitting. Put some 5200 on nut to seal the fish box.

I would check the thru hulls "Scuppers" in the transom as well. Stay away from the plastic thru hull fittings. Use bronze or stainless.
