Many people have asked the (very important) question: "does the deck drain into the bilge. Yes, the idiot who did this, and who is hopefully not a memeber of our gang, drilled a quarter inch hole in the rear center of the deck. Needless to say, drainage is slow, and the slightest debris plug it up. I will probably pull the silicone out of the scuppers, and (which I did on one side) since this mysterioius grandchild removed the scupper housing, the water can flow freely into the bildge.
When I get back to Miami in December here is what I plan on doing: 1. get new batteries. 2. Remove any non essential wiring that could drain my bateries if there is a short. 3. Get a new bildge pump and new wires switches etc. THEN drop the boat in and see what happens- how low it is, how it handles with the 2thirsty5. I would be able to see if the engine is too heavy.
Question. If I find I can put scuppers back, and since the mysterious grandson filled the hull outlets with marinetex, what would you guys suggest I do to restore the whole scupper system?
