Sorry to beat this dead horse, but I was thinking that my current fix to the scuppers is crap. I glassed in pvc tubes from the rear drain scuppers to the transom, and was planning on installing TH ball scuppers on the transom. (I blocked off the deck scuppers and just went with the rear drain openings)

Based on the commnents of forum members, it sounds like those are really no good if they are below the waterline, as they would be in my install. Again, my boat is a trailer boat, so am I wrong in thinking that the TH ball scuppers are not the right approach here? Keeping two of those brass-and-rubber plugs inside the boat while at rest is doable also, but not my preference.

Also, should I instead install some kind of valve that could be opened while underway, inline with the pvc tubes I enstalled, and add the TH scuppers also, or just nix the TH ball scuppers altogether?

Last stupid question, in the interest of safety: should I scrap the TH scuppers, install two bronze or stainless thru hulls, and ball valves inline with the drain tubes I glassed in? It seems like there are some stories of plastic breaking in similar applications. (plastic thru hulls, vs. Marelon, etc.)
