Default Re: Brass scupper tube install

I think Bushwacker had overdrilled his holes and blocks for the purpose of both rebuilding the wood blocks with GitRot and then re-drilled the 1 inch holes - effectively making an epoxy sleeve to place the brass in. That way if the brass ever fails again, the deck and hull are are still sealed from water intrusion through the wood block by the epoxy tube that connects them.

Kind of made me wonder why not forgo the the brass sleeve all together and just make a bigger f-glas and epoxy tube?

Great idea on the will by the way, too many kids cough up their parent's prized possessions without thinking what it really meant to the family. Heritage, ancestry, history of the family, man. That's what an inheritance should be about. The legacy of the Family Seacraft... Sounds like youve got it down in the Berkshires
