The aft cockpit drains on my 35mkii cross over and feed into the forward cockpit drain seacocks. Works fine and has done so for a long time. The Groco bronze seacocks can get seized but that can be freed and they are all difficult to access but they all work and i leave thrm all open always. My bad??
