scuppers...bilge or straight overboard?
my port scupper drains through the back of the boat, starboard one drains into the bilge. I do a lot of fishing so I can see that getting pretty grimy in there pretty quickly but I have also heard its safer than having them go overboard. my last boat drained straight over, and there were never any issues. which is better?

Re: scuppers...bilge or straight overboard?
Straight out the back. If it drains into the bilge you're relying on a pump thats probably gonna be clogged with all that grime. Use Raybud or Seachoice ball scuppers on the drain tubes.
