Hi Guys,
Nope, I'm thinking of installing scuppers through the sides. I believe the 20' model did this but not sure. One scupper would be placed in the starboard aft corner just above the sump cover. Of course the second scupper would be placed in the port aft corner, leading directly overboard, not into the splash well. This is to allow water to drain directly overboard from the deck and not to have to pump it out of the bilge. The stock sump cover would be replaced with something a little more substantial. Perhaps a cover that would make the deck drain slow enough so the scupper would allow most of the water to go overboard? Make sense? Then I can pump the sump out occasionally during the day rather than constantly while I am flushing the deck.
