My 37 has the deck scuppers and this was this First thing I fixed after purchase. Unfortunately they are small and make a 90 degree turn not far from where they go in so both sides were plugged tight :( so help water until nature dried it out. Port side I was Able to shop vac too and hose out from below, starboard broke when I touched it so I was left with a hole in my boat! Hole was Topside yes but if it rained it leaked as it wa ms Not round, and not easy to plug without replacing and sealing Took a week to find he right scupper so I did not hard to change drain line to through hull. A real bear to get at inside the back wall plexi in galley so no real way to see with doing the boat dance. I installed #1 and dry fit only thankfully only to come up about 2 full turns short of being perfectly snug ! Yes I ended up with 2 extra that did not fit (length of Non threaded area) and grabbed a proper spare for the other side for “when it goes” :)

Used a tee and two shut off valves. One side goes to the original drain and the other I put a hose barb on. Let it rain for a few minutes attach a hose and then switch valve positions. Your deck may not have scuppers like on the 37’. In the past I’ve used the canvas between the dodger and bimini. I just unzipped it about half way and placed a bucket at the end of the flap. More work and wetter.

Has anybody rigged up a rainwater collector? I’m not real sure about using the sails with all the crap in the air, but I’m happy to use a purpose-built plastic sheet tied to boom or mast or outrigger and funneled unto one of the water intakes on deck. Always trying to be a little more self sufficient since I’m a live aboard.
