Water… where you don't want it!

An irritating problem, and don't know if there are any structural diagrams for the K20+
Here's what happened: I fitted a new bladder type water tank under the starboard cabin berth. The filler pipe goes through the starboard lazarette/locker into this bladder. It works very well.
This week in filling up the tank I didn't notice the filler pipe had come off the deck fitting... meaning that it filled up the starboard lazarette/locker. This overflowed into the void between the locker and the under starboard berth... that void appears to be connected to a void under the main cabin, possibly under the cockpit... So there is water sloshing around there.
Well, not just there. When I rewired the boat I put the battery in what was the starboard wet locker (we don't really need a wet locker in the Med, but we do need an electric cool box which is located there). So the cables went under the port berth. Somehow it appears that the under cabin void is connected to a void between the wet locker and the under berth locker. So the sloshing water is now sloshing into all these lockers.
And of course there is no 'bilge' with bilge pump so I have no idea how to get all this sloshing water out! Sailing it sloshes out depending on port or starboard tack accordingly.
