Default Cockpit drainage, lets try again

Personally I would suggest he makes sure the flotation will keep the
boat level and a foot or so above the water in the event of a
swamping. Add some mid level scuppers and a couple of pumping
systems.. May be that a boat like this is not going to pop up and self
bail between waves but ride out the storm upright and level to be
bailed when things calm down a bit... Just a thought... I mean,
whatcha' gonna' do in a storm anyway

OK, lets try for some real info this time and no insults. Do so-
called offshore boats really have good scuppers? Can anybody provide
a link to a pic of such?
Next, areas below the deck, are they sealed on offshore boats or
accessible via a hatch? How much do said hatches leak? (my sealed
compartments have 6" screw in type access ports).

I like Pasco. Interesting that he says to seal up scuppers if they
are too low and rely on bilge pumps.

In the pic he gave, the scupper was even with the cockpit sole, so why
have a bilge pump? Where is the pump pumping if the deck is supposed
to be sealed?

I looked over the Tolman last night, adding a deck would be no
problem. Even big scuppers would not be too difficult. I sure hate
losing access to my hull though.



In my opinion, bilge pumps are not for getting rid of water from a greenie.
They are for getting rid of water due to rain, condensation, dripping shaft
seals, etc.

Scuppers are for getting rid of greenie water ... in a hurry.
