I found some scuppers that exit the cockpit through the wall instead of the floor, that will make the hose downhill and make them drain. You could use them and run the hose out the back.

I like the drain scuppers that Randleman found, but trying to cut a hole so close to the floor, what tool would ya use. ??? ??? ??? ???

I am thinking a hole saw, but do it from inside/out so you can get it right at floor level. Probably measure and drill a pilot hole from the outside first to make it easier.

Any other thoughts?

that is how I would do it, but good luck getting the drill in there ::)

Mine's an '89. With those drains so close to the waterline its way to easy for water to come up the drain and run down the channel and into the bilge. A reliable bilge pump and a well charged battery is a must!
