Jeff, I'm not sure how much difference there is between the 2100 Revmaster which I have and your engine, but mine has the drain on the left side directly above the nose wheel. I put a milk crate (or a bucket works) aside of the nose gear, the on top of that I put the drain pan which gets fairly directly under the flow. Sounds like u need a piece of channel or rain gutter to get it going in the right direction. Lookin forward to Sun'n fun 06
