Re: Scuppers

I AM GOING TO LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE FOR NOW. IF I HAVE A PROBLEM THEN I WILL CONVERT. WHEN I WAS REDOING THE DECK AND TRANSOM I HAD A GREAT CHANCE TO DO SOMETHING BUT DECIDED TO LEAVE AS IS. THERE WERE TWO REASONS WHY. FIRST I WANTED TO TRY TO KEEP AS MUCH OF THE ORIGINAL DESIGN (THAT MAKE SENSE) ALONE. THE OTHER IS THERE IS A 3”X3” BY ABOUT 6” BLOCK OF WOOD THAT HELPS SUPPORT THE INNER LINER AND DECK PLUS HELPS SUPPORT THE TRANSOM. THE SCUPPER HOLE GOES STRAIGHT THROUGH IT. TO USE THAT SAME LOCATION TO GO OUT THE TRANSOM WOULD UNDERMINED THE STRENGTH OF THAT SUPPORT BLOCK. THE BEST THING TO DO WOULD BE TO FILL UP THAT LITTLE 2”X2” RECESSED AREA AND CHOOSE ANOTHER LOCATION CLOSER TO THE ENGINE WELL BUT STILL IN THAT DRAIN CHANNEL.
