Yes, I use water catchment on my Krogen 42. There are two gutters on
each side of the upper deck. One on each side is blocked off. The prior
owner fitted little pieces of blue tarp where they can be hung right
under the gutters to catch the water and channel it into the tanks. Let
it rain a while to wash most of the salt/crud off, then fill the tanks!
