Love the Tsunami/ Hate the scuppers.

ZEN,
Absolutely,give the Vortex things a shot.They are way better than having to put the plugs in.
I didn't make them exactly like the original design that we have to thank Fellowship for.
I just used some cpvc tubing with the fingers of some latex gloves on the end of them.At times they work perfectly and at times they don't work very well(it may be my design).

Either way they are a pia.Having them in eats up the drainage capacity in an already much too small scupper,and not having them, or the plugs, in gets you water all over the deck.
This was a poor design no matter how you feel about it,but even today there are some highly rated boats with similar scupper problems.
I keep a 5 gallon bucket in the cuddy in case I (god forbid)ever have to move an excessively large amount of water from the boat in an emergency situation.There is no way these tiny scuppers would be able to handle it.

I hope to get up to the boat to at least design something but it won't be for a month or more,as it's 6.5 hours away from home.
If I do I'll take some pics and post them.
