Default Re: damp feet in an 18

Hi, Uncleboo!
I did a search back 5 years and came across your pics and ideas, but my boat has a different configuration than yours, it is the tracker model and it has a scupper out the back and a 25 inch transom.
My problem isn't water in the motor well, a problem that you and 76Red18 have seemed to address so capably, but water coming in thrugh the scuppers that have "one way" flaps on them and intruding into the cockpit.
I keep my molded livewell plugged, but when it's full it adds another 150 pounds to the stern of the boat, exacerbating the already tenuous low deck problem.
I am going to add the auto bilge pump as suggested by 76Red18 into the molded in well, and I think a pair or possibly a quad of the ball type scuppers will keep most of the water out.
Thank you so much for the ideas!
Redsonfly
