I changed the subject of this line to reflect the contents relating
to
cockpit scubbers.
Yes, in fact I just finished installing cockpit scuppers about 20
minutes
ago - having started 3 years ago. In my boat (79) the cockpit
drains above
the lazarette originally had 3/4" mushroom thru-hulls. These small
thru-hulls were constantly being clogged and seemed inadequate to
me when
the cockpit needed to drain quickly.
The area around where they were placed was depressed - presumably
so the
water would funnel into the drain. The depression was defeated by
the
mushroom cap and so water always pooled around the thru-hull and
stained the
gel coat. The same was true for the cockpit drain where the
mushroom cap
prevented the all the water from draining out.
Years ago I simply removed the 3/4" " thru-hulls and replaced them
with 1
1/2" ones in the deck and transom. That let the water flow with
much less
clogging but I still got the pool around the thru-hull.
I have since installed flush mounted scuppers in both the deck and
in the
cockpit drain. For the deck drains, I filled the depression with
epoxy with
fairing powder and then sanded it flush with the surrounding area.
I then
painted the entire deck of the boat but you could patch the area
with gel
coat. I was planning to paint the deck anyway.
I used a Dremel with a sanding drum to create the hole with bevel
sides and
then made a donut of plywood that I attached under the hole with
thickened
epoxy for strength and depth. The ones under the deck has to be
tapered to
fit as the bottom side of the deck is not horizontal to the deck.
I now have flush-mounted scuppers that should eliminate the problem
of water
stains. This was not a particularly difficult job but it took
longer than
you might expect as it is fussy.
I can send photos if you want them

The rhodes has a very large cockpit...above waterline. Has anyone
added
large stern scuppers to help rid the cockpit of water in rough
conditions?
