<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Not really. Take a flashlight and look down
one of the scuppers, you will see how close yo are to the water. A right
angle bend would also provide an easy way for debris to cork the drain. At
least with a straight shot down to the water you can gently push a dowel down
the hole and clear the drain.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>On my new boat (non A30) the drains have 90's right
under the cockpit and I get an occasional blockage from leaves and
occasional chunks of bread from sandwiches. No where as easy to clear and
of course it isn't noticed until it raining like hell and the cockpit is
filling.</FONT></DIV>
