Anchor locker drainage


I have a drainage question with my 1983 Riviera 2807.

The anchor and rode lockers at the bow drain directly into the bilge. A hose runs from the bottom connector and dumps right by the forward bilge pump. When there is a good rain storm, this locker catches a decent amount of water.
Does anyone know if this locker should just drain into the bilge as it is now, or should it be going to a through hull fitting overboard?
I guess it's not incredibly important either way but it is nice to have a dry bilge.
Would appreciate anyone's thoughts.

While I'm at it, i also noticed today that this forward bilge pump, pumps the water out slightly below the water line. I feel like this may be wrong?

Thank you,
