20ft scuppers - Page 2

My MA has them going down to below and exit under the hull not to the transom I wonder how that's going to work? Easy enough to plug them up if needed.

Can others chine in on this?

Hey eyez where on cape are you? is there a chance we could take a look? Are the balls below the water? do they exit out the transom or somewhere else?

I had the 3" ray buds on my inboard they worked good. If you trailer your boat crud is really a non issue. Make sure you install them right some balls were weighted and some not. Wild did you raise your deck or is it stock height, your bracket should give you some stern lift and help with self-bailing. I think with your set-up that is similar to a Regulator's 6" oval just a rubber flapper would work or those sea stop flappers. The large ping pongs are noisy but you can push them into the seal to plug at anchor giant fishing then un-plug when running. Did Bobby spray it I would like to check it out some day..

This is actually on a buddys 20' that dosnt need a deck replacement. I am trying to figure out if there is enough height (pitch) to just pop scuppers in the transom and pipe to under side of the deck, or if they will be constantly underwater. I would love to cross them as has been suggested by other guys on here as having 2 'husky' guys on one side of the boat gets a little spooky at times. I like things to be 'idiot proof' and remembering to plug the OEM scuppers is not.

The scuppers on my 23 are simple weighted doors as my deck goes all the way back to the transom, simple.

Bob should have shot coat #2 yesterday, I am headed over today to take a look. Its getting close to coming out of the shop and I am getting antsy! If you see it in the yard, swing by any time!
