With all this discussion of the cockpit drains I went out to my boat
(C&C35 MkII, which spends winter in my side yard) to check the layout
and take some measurements. The two scupper valves are 9" from the
centerline (18" apart) and are approx. 20" below the waterline. The
cockpit deck (floor) is 12" above the waterline. The forward T-cockpit
drain is 26" above the hull at the valve and valve top is 5 1/4" tall
measured from the outside of the hull at the valve exit. Both valves
are faired flush to the hull. The aft cockpit scupper drains which are
T'ed into the forward scuppers valves are further outboard and a little
lower. It is these scuppers that have water when heeling over to the
point that we have water coming over the leeward rail. I have attached
a diagram of the set up. It appears that cross connecting the scuppers
would not help keep water out of the aft cockpit as the boat would have
to have the spreaders almost in the water. Portends I have bigger
problems then water in the cockpit.

As I recall, on my 35-1 it takes 15-20 degrees for water to emerge
from the leeward steering station scupper. That's just when it's
starting to get fun!

Understand that. Wonder what degree of heel it would take to
achieve that.

The issue is when the cockpit holes AND the thru-hulls are
both below the line.
