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

I don't think they are above the waterline. The aft cockpit floor is lower than the forward one. Both sets of drains are forward. Replaced valves and hoses a few years ago. Reused the through hulls although the tabs inside got busted trying to hold them to unscrew the valves. C&C should have used real through hulls that are bolted to the hull.

My buddy is a salvor. He gets the call when a boat on our bayou is on the bottom. A significant percentage of the sinkings involve plugged cockpit scupper drains. Leaves and/or debris plug the drain(s). The cockpit fills with rain water. The weight of the water sinks the boat until the cockpit scuppers are submerged and down it goes. Sometimes a neglected boat with a low companionway threshold will get so much rain water in the cockpit it overflows into the cabin. Leave the cockpit seacocks open and make sure they are clear. I flush Touche's twice a year. Who knows what spider, mud dauber of whatever builds a nest in them. Also, on haul out. Make sure you know which way your cockpit drains. Block the boat accordingly. The 35-1 cockpit, like others, drains forward. I always make sure Touche' is blocked level or slightly bow down. Also, just as a note, the 35-1 has 4 cockpit scupper drains. Two of them are in the aft steering station which is separated from the rest of the cockpit by a bulkhead. These two drain exit at or slightly above the waterline when the boat is floating on its lines. Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA
