Hi Tad,
Yes. Mine drains out the front near the water line as well.
I used a two wire clothes hangers i connected together with electric tape to make it long enough. On the clothes hanger side that will stay in the ancor locker, bend it enough or attached something to it so it doesn't go through the drain hole in the bottom of the ancor locker.
First to fish it through the the ancor locker. Then position yourself so you can see the hole in the bow of the boat and push the clothes hanger through it. To get the drain tube to go completely in the bow hole you might have to shake the hanger a bit from the dock or in the water if your in the water, but it will go in.
Do a couple of test runs before you put silicone all over everything because it can get messy. I put boaters life in a syringe to make sure I got enough bedding around the drain tube. That part is the only part you need to make sure you do 100% correct otherwise it leaks when you hit a wave.
I rebed mine because I had a water intrusion problem from the drain tube not being bedded correctly
I did it myself so it can be done.
