Re: self bailing scuppers
Ha Bill
Your scuppers go through I approx 3”x3” x 14” block of wood which fit’s between the deck and the top part of the hull these blocks of wood are glassed into the corner of the hull and usually run to the transom in length. If you were doing a transom job I would replace those blocks of wood if you are just re doing the scuppers some guys have drilled a larger hole than the scuppers pipe then filled in the entire hole with epoxy, glass, and filler then re drilled the hole to the correct diameter. You can buy the correct length (special order) from any good marine store they come in 6” length. Then after you re bore cut to proper length and flair out and seal. Personally I would not use pvc in there reason to be is you have deck then block of wood then bottom of hull. If any one of those units flex and brake your pvc pipe and the water finds access to the bilge area you could sink your boat.
