AND only when healed (if both the cockpit drains and the through hulls were
below the water line when level, you would have water in the cockpit all the
time).

Just thinking about the replies, the threads are tapered so that will help seal
the connection. I have had success with tape and liquid pipe thread sealant on
water heaters before but do anodes have to be electrically grounded or
connected to the surrounding metal? If the answer is yes, is there
Len, I've considered the same thing and even gone so far as to use a meter
to check continuity between the tank and the anode. I've never found a
discontinuity. It goes to my earlier reply that these "sealants" are not
actually supposed to seal pipe joints. What they do is lubricate the
threads
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 t
If the thru hull and drain are on the same side, they both “drop” the same
amount. If they are crossed, when the thru-hull drops lower, the connected
drain goes higher

Even if the through hull is higher than the scupper, no water enters the
cockpit (it does not drain, either, but as you said, if you already have water
in the cockpit at that position, you have bigger problems to worry about).

As I recall, on my 35-1 it takes 15-20 degrees for water to emerge from the
leeward steering station scupper. That's just when it's starting to get
fun!

With all this discussion of the cockpit drains I went out to my boat
(C&C35 MkII, which spends winter in my side yard) to check the layout
and take some measurements. The two scupper valves are 9" from the
centerline (18" apart) and are approx. 20" below the waterline. The

Hi Don,
I have a 1974 C&C 35-II with the same drain plan. I’ve sailed in >34kts in
Puget Sound (I didn’t look after that) and some puffs were around 50 - reported
by other cruising boats, returning from the same raft-up. I should have had
the third reef in, but had my hands full by then. Dep
