There are 2 cockpit drains. The water goes through them but ends up in the bilge. There are 2 plugs in the rear of the hull but they can't be open in the water. How does that water get out of the boat?

Typically via the bilge pump while the boat is afloat, or using the hull bungs/plugs when ashore.

Water accumulates in the scupper areas of the cockpit on each side between the tubes and the hull. It just sits there. How does that water get out of the boat?

On my inboard Ribtec I have elephant trunks either side in these scuppers to allow the deck to be drained. If you don't have those, I guess you either somehow route the water down into the bilge for the pump to expel, or you mop it out.

My boat has a regular type bilge pump with a discharge hose. Hose heads for back of the boat and disappears. How does that water get out of the boat?

Have you traced the hose back? Personally on my inboard RIB the bilge pumps exit the boat via a through fitting towards the top of the transom. It might be hidden behind the engine on the inside though, but is there anything on the outside?
