Re: Scuppers
HI SCOTT,
WITH A SINGLE ENGINE THE SCUPPERS ARE FINE.I
CHANGED ALL THE BRASS FITTINGS IN THE BOAT
ABOUT 7 YEARS AGO AND HAVENT HAD A PROBLEM
WITH THEM. I WOULD CHANGE THEM IF IT HASN'T
BEEN DONE. IF THEY ARE CORRODED OR CRACKED
YOU MAY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH WATER LEAKING IN THE
HULL. YOU CAN GET THE LONG BRASS ONES FROM A
WHALER DEALER. THEY USED THEM IN THE 16.7'
HULLS AND YOU CAN CUT THEM TO THE NEEDED
LENTH AND INSTALL THEM WITH 5200 AND A FLAIRING
TOOL. SOME OF THE 78' AND NEWER HULLS USED THE LARGER NYLON FITTINGS THAT THRED INTO PLACE.
THEY ARE NICE BUT CAN SOMETIMES CRACK. I WANT TO
REPLACE MINE ON THE 20' BUT CANT FIND THEM YET.
I THINK I SAW THEM USED ON THE NEWER WHALERS AND
WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHO MAKES THEM??
