I have seen the canoe scuppers and they work on a single surface so I think it is possible. I can't find that type in a google search but I will get a shot of the next one I see. I am familiar with the kayak Ken B. is speaking of and I think there must be an optimal calculation for the scupper to draw and that kayak was done by guestimating hole size and location.

Pumps,
Heather Nelson rigged her Yukon Quest kayak with an elevated seat, and a foot operated pump to eliminate pit stops. Here is a link to her info on that.

Best,

Reg
