Re: self bailing scuppers

You are correct ..those are your deck scuppers ….BUT ….. Do not block them up unless you have an alternative method of getting rid of the deck water (through the transom etc). At rest (at the dock) no water should enter (provided the boat is not overloaded in the stern ) and allow wash and rain water to leave the deck i.e. a self bailing deck. While using the boat you can temporarily plug those holes to avoid wet feet …. Just don’t forget to take the plugs out when you bring her back to the dock and put her away for the night or even while running if you getting serious spray. Block those holes and that water will find the bilge …. And the batteries and pumps better be in good working order or else you’ll have a lot more problems than some wet feet!!!
