Re: What about this???

WWP2-I'm with Tarpun, you would have a vacuum with the scuppers at speed, pulling the water away. My SF23 was originally a diesel jackshafted to an outdrive. It has been converted to twin 225's on a bracket. At 900 lbs of motors, the boat still has water shedding ability with all that weight. On my transom I have exhaust baffels that have been converted to giant scupper drains. Is it possible that your drains have a raw water pick up connected from when you had the I/O???

Re: What about this???

Mine did the exact same thing when I first purchased it a few years back. Eventually I screwed some clamshells over the holes facing backward and that solved the problem.
The first time I took the boat out it scared the crap out of me. We had seatrialed it with the drain plugs in.
