scuppers
 

My scuppers are clogged with shards of broken glass from Hurricane Sandy. I removed the screws to attempt to clean them out but the drain top (see attached photo) was extremely hard to remove-I tried to pry it up with a screwdriver and it moved a little but I was afraid I was going to break something- is it adhered to the downward drain pipe? What am I missing?

I replaced the same ones on my Flats Skiff. If originaly they were secured with 5200 or the like, beware as they will crack & break trying to remove them. Try high pressure air or water to flush the debris out (Deck side as to keep the ball within from sealing the drain shut)

Make Sense?

The top piece should come off but be cautious see this info:
