Default Re: Possible Leaking Scuppers

I had the same thing happen to me this weekend. I was out on the water about 3 hours and got some water in the bilge. Turned on the bilge pump and pumped it out.

It was rough and we took on some water on top and it's possible some of the water got in that way, however, when I removed the cushions on the right hand side looking at the back of the boat, I saw a little drip coming out of the stringer which has a hole about half inch in diameter in it.
This was before we got into the 4-6 foot rollers, then we turned back to safer waters.

I've checked the transom and it looks ok, I can't see any places where it might leak. Where else should I look? What's a scupper? I assume its the drain for the water to exit the cockpit and out the back, right?

I'm a novice on these older boats so if you have any help or advice, it will be appreciated.
