Re: Thru transom scuppers conversion from thru flo
abl1111,
The main reason I converted the scuppers on my project was that, as they were, they represented two uncontrolled holes through the bottom of the hull. I moore the boat and to my way of thinking, eliminating that potential disaster was a major benefit. I also plugged the fish box drain for the same reason, although the situation there is not as critical.
Regarding the crossing scupper drain piping, the lines are usually not laid flat or parallel to the water line; they slope down and generally back, often at a pretty steep angle (30^+/-).
