Quick as a lick, Carl said, just cross the scupper hoses.
I thought about it for a minnow, and just started to laugh.
He always had such simplistic beauty in his solutions
to our challenges.

Take a second on the seesaw here and I do mean seesaw.

You have to envision the later scupper design where the water
runs from the liner straight back through short hoses through the
transom scuppers.

Remove the short hoses.
Attach the longer hose to the transom mounted scupper Portside.
Run this hose to the the Starboard side liner barb.

Now think. Have another beer. Think some more.

So, you are standing in the corner Portside whilst wearing a pointy hat.

The scupper is underwater and the water rises in the hose.
The water stops at the height of the ocean and will not rise to the height
of the Starboard transom scupper which is far above the ocean whilst tilted.

Love you Carl.

Cheers,

I don't think crossing over the drain hoses will work on my boat. Both of the transom scuppers are 8 inch below the water surface and located close to the centerline of the boat - maybe 1 foot off either side.
