I've Googled this pretty thoroughly and searched the Sadler and Starlight website but I'm still stumped so please forgive another in my near endless series of questions.
The Sadler 32 has a side-opening gas locker with potential for draining gas into the bilge since the cockpit drains are water-locked. I've read some accounts of sealing up the side opening, converting to top opening and setting up a drain from the bottom of the gas locker to the transom. The problem is the downward slope on the transom creates another sump. Someone wrote that a 110 degree near-right angle skin fitting solved it but I can't figure out any way of fitting this that doesn't allow even that to form a water lock at the bend. Has anyone done this successfully who has pictures?
