House Training on a Boat

I have what I think is a unique problem. I own a 7 year old dog that is, of course, house trained. Three years ago I bought a boat that allows us to anchor out if we want and dinghy ashore.
Most of the time there is no problem. He can "hold it" over night. Twice, though, he has had loose stools that has caused him distress. One time we were in a location that meant a dinghy ride at night, in windy conditions that was not safe.
Can anyone suggest how I can train my dog to relieve himself on the boat (maybe on a piece of carpet) if he needs to?

Many people who locally do ship to shore stuff with their dogs do a papertrain or litterbox thing. For boys they usually get a pee post that you can get at a petstore.
Just like potty training in the beginning it's just a matter of environmental control and a correct marker at the right time.
