20ft. CC scupper repair/replacement

I did a search, and now I can't find the thread from 2007 re: scupper repair. Could someone enlighten me?

Question: Does the front "fish locker" scupper have a block of wood around it? How large is the wood block? Is it glassed-in? How much of the block can I dig out before compromising the block itself?

I'm getting a LOT of water in the boat (pumping out about 2 gallons every 35 minutes!). Transom was replaced, so I know there is no leakage related to it. I'm planning on repairing/replacing all 3 scuppers, and am curious about the size of the block surrounding each one.

Thanks. I'll try to post photos about the transom replacement when I have time. There were 13 holes that had been drilled/plugged in the transom, and lots of soggy wood. It came out very easily, according to Craig Bosman of Coastal Fiberglas, who did the replacement. He said he prefers to work on completely trashed transoms, as the wood comes out so easily.

So, the transom repair did NOT solve the water leakage. The only place water could be coming in is the scuppers.
