20ft scuppers
 

I have seen a picture somewhere of a guy who crossed his scupper tubes, exiting them out the back of the hull. I am wondering if this is possible without raising the floor? Without cutting the deck up?
Anybody got a link?

Run the starboard deck drain to port scupper and vice versa.
The genius of Mr. Moesly.

When standing in the starboard corner, the incoming water has to go uphill to the port deck drain to ingress. Not so easy going uphill. Simple and brilliant. Ping pong scuppers help lots as well.

Is there enough 'pitch' to run them out the back of the transom from deck level? Will they be below the waterline?

Ping pong scupper? I understand the ball plugging the drain when the water pushes it up. Simplest version of a check valve. Sounds like this is the least work for the scuppers at the water line problem. Anyone have a link to buy them?

They will only work if the ball is OUT of the water the majority of the time. If there isnt enough pitch from under the deck out to the transom (or if it ends up below the water line) than its not even worth doing.

Light motors and dedicated pumps keep them dry.

My Slacker has factory mods from some who came before me and were smarter than I. Merritt boys? Don`t know.

Weights and measures are key here. Think light and CG.

the ball style do not work as I imagined, time for some waterline measurements and a chalk line I suppose

Could there be a problem with my set up? I havnt had the boat in the water yet. Perhas the crises hoses is a petter idea.
