We thought of that kind of system when our border terrier decided to pee on a faux-grass doormat in the cockpit. We found a rubbermaid storage tub the top of which was about 2 feet long, turned the top upside down, cut the doormat to fit inside the top, and attached one end of the doormat to the tub top with zip-ties.
Whenever she needed to, Scrappy would happily pee on it rather than on the deck, and it was easy to dump and rinse overboard. It did need a good scrubbing once in a while to remove deposits.
She rarely pooped on the pee-pad, but picking up poop from the cockpit deck and tossing it overboard (only in appropriate locations) or into the head wasn't too much trouble. She knew to go to the cockpit to relieve herself, and we never "had to" take her ashore.
