Thanks for all the help.

Those scuppers go thru a wood block between inner liner and hull; the flared part of the brass scupper tubes will eventually corrode and start to leak, which then rots the wood block. You can do a search for a post I did several years ago on how to replace the rotted wood with thickened epoxy. Now would be a good time to either replace the scupper tubes or reroute them to run out the transom, where you can install the Raybud ping pong ball check valves. (Those check valves MUST be above the waterline or the scuppers won't drain!)
