how to remove scuppers?

My SC has deck scuppers that go down about 2 inches and back about 12 inches out the transom. They leak around the pvc where it exits the transom. I am debating just replacing the pvc and glassing it in the transom to seal it or have the scupper system go directly horizontal through the transom.

How do I remove the old pvc piping. Sorry, no pic at this time but I will add some later if needed.

Take them straight back and you should gain a couple inches and then 5200 them in place and that should take care of it.

Here are 2 pix of my drain tubes. As far as I know they are original.

Pic 1 is the outside drain tube. It had 4200 around it but it peeled off. There is a little space around the drain tube and I believe that is where some water is leaking in. Hopefully the wood is not wet or at least repairable.

The second pic is the drain tube itself as it passes through the transom.

I really have a few questions.

A) What is the best way to remove?
B) Should I do an exact replacement or go straight out the back.
C) Should I increase the diameter of the drain?
D) Glass in or 5200?
