I may be wrong Heiner. Mine sit above the deck, and drain through the transom, caused my transom deck support to rot.

Thanks for your quick response - Jeff

Our vessel has these 3 drains too:

Now I have to find out, where they come from. In fact - the middle one is
just to drain the hatch - thats for sure.

The lower middle yes, but the upper should be for the deck. I dont understand why they didnt make the holes bigger. They clog up to easy.

My 1974 F36 has scuppers but they drain to the cockpit bilge!
Really a bad design. Need to change to thru-hull....this winter.

after looking again and listening to you guys, I think was designed to do the same, I dont see why though. Im going to run larger piping thro the transom to my deck so this never happens again. I agree, poor design and why such little holes?

so i was correct, right? not unlike the original tri cabin design until the flush deck version was introduced.

The aft wall should stop about 1" above the deck. There should be a tray that is about 1/2" lower that runs along the aft wall where those brass scupper holes are. My try-cabin has this and it works perfectly.

See in this old picture of my deck, only one i could find with the aft image.

+++1 yep. same as the earlier versions of the f-32 and f36. this was used until the fiberglass cockpit liners were added in later model years.

"KNOW HOW" means to have friends like you all, they have knowledges about Trojan's

And yes, you were right. Today I moved that panel out - and 'here we are' scuppers said

Clogged with old leaves and maple seeds:

The middle one is also present:

Will make that hole a little bit wider:

I flooded the deck again - and all the water was flushing out as expected.

Will work at the panel too, to clean the scuppers more easy.
