Default Scupper Help

Having lurked on this site for 5 years as I searched for my dream 23' CC, I finally found the right boat and cut a deal last fall. (1975 23' CC) Finally, after months of upgrades and work, I splashed the boat this afternoon for my first shake-down run. Needless to say, I was very excited. New engine (250 Etec),new electronics etc.

Everything went great but I am a little concerned about the position of the scuppers. (which, from what I gather, is fairly common with this era) At its slip without anyone in the stern, the (port and starboard) scuppers are just above the waterline. If you stand in the stern, however, they will dunk (slightly)

For peice of mind, I would like to add in a flap-type scupper or a ping-pong ball scupper...but I'm hoping to get your opinions. I am having the boat pulled next week to look at something else so when its out, I'd like to address that as well.

Please let me know what you suggest in terms of what I should use. I really appreciate your help.

Best,
RC

I have the same issue. I know a lot of people raise the floor but I'm not ready for that yet. I'd like to know what everyone else says about those other scuppers too.....

Thanks so much. Are those able to be mounted on the side as well? Are they flush when mounted? Looks like they may stick out but I may not be looking at it correctly. Thanks again

plug em when your fishing and pull em when your running, make sure everyone in your crew understands what they r and what they do in case you take one over the transom. I had 1 76 cc with motor 2 stroke 200 on the notch . i had moved console up 5 inches and had an auxillary tank (40 gal) up front. I had very little problem with that set up. i now have a 76 cc with flotation bracket with 225 four stroke, stock console location with fuel tank as forward as possible, and a 25 gal fresh water tank forward and batteries under the console. This sits almost as well as my old one. Moving batteries helps also. Good luck you have an amzing boat and that power sounds sweet, how fast is she prob. @ 46??

they do stick out because of the ping pong ball cover, when water pushes against them they stop the water from coming in like a check valve

Had some similar to this on SeaVette:

This style may prove to work on the on the vertical thru hulls such as on the 20' hulls. Sort of a sturdier vortex.

I thought so. Thanks for clarifying. Are those type scuppers only meant for the transom or can you still use them on the side scuppers?

If they can't be used on the sides, how do the flap style scuppers work?

Thanks for your help.

What was that one way scupper contraption that was posted on here a long time ago that helped the straight down scuppers on the old 20's? I think Father Frank came up with it if I'm remembering correctly? The "Vortex" or something, parts out of the home depot plumbing isle, looks like something out of a garbage disposal.
