I did give some thought to making a scupper that would fit inside the brass tube. If you used thin walled PVC pipe and using a oval looking over size hatch door type device approx 1/8 thick that would fit inside the PVC pipe approx ˝ the way down the pipe and attack to both sides of the pvc tube gravity would hold in open but water coming up through the pvc would close in shut. My new scuppers use a rubber flap horizontally attached to the top of the inline scupper But you cant use rubber inside a tube going
vertical because the rubber would eventually open up and get stuck because of gravity so plastic flip open running through and hinging should work. I went with the inline scuppers because I got tired or putting the Vortex in and taking them out each time I went fishing plus I had a $150.00 in my pocket and got board. I wanting to work on the boat instead of my wife’s honey do list.
