Default Re: Leaking floor scuppers

You need to replace the tubes that go down thru the scuppers. if they are plastic you need to change over to brass and flare both ends. The reason one shoots water in is because the bottom of the tube on the underside of the hull is probably lower than the "dam" just forward of the scupper. When you replace the ones that are in there now ensure that the flared bottom does not extend past the dam, ledge or whatever you call it. The tube is pretty long also and most marine stores around here dont carry, you will have to locate them somewhere else. A friend of mine also made a custom flareing tool that makes it pretty easy. I can probably post a drawing of the tool if anyone is interested. craig
