Understand that. Wonder what degree of heel it would take to achieve that. One would think that it would be extreme and that one would want to reduce that as soon as possible. I think that regardless, if the cockpit floor scupper is below the water line, I don't care where the through hull is for that particular scupper, I got more things to worry about. Having them crossed it is easy for me to imagine a heel where the through hull is higher than the drain. I don't see how that helps. The normal way the through hull is below the drain unless the boat is upside down. I am not saying it's wrong, just trying to understand the geometry and drainage.
