seacraft scupper question

[gaulois]

Hey Bill/Old Blues,
Thanks for the info- you nailed it with the venturi effect.
For some reason I thought it was "bernoulli". I dont know if I mentioned that when I had my 23CC repainted the guy altered the "venturi" effect, and water did shoot up one of the scuppers. It looked like a rooster tail from a distance, but if one looked closer one would see the rooster tail coming from inside the boat. I used to get pissed and always grumble that "dude screwed up my venturi" Thanks also for the info on the 115. Also, yes the guy did bascially use the 1/2 inch hole idea from the cuddy step. The info all of you gave me about the actual construction of the scuppers really helps with how Ill deal with it. One of the reasons Im so obsessed is that I remember with the 23CC I did not seal the cover over the rear tank/battery area. so water would seep in and I had to depend on the bilge pump. While camping in the Dry Tortugas with the boat anchored in front of the camp sites there were several downpoors. I mean serious downpours, to the point that I swam out to the boat a few times to make sure that the auto bilge was working properly. After that I sealed the cover, and all the water would drain out the scuppers, and I could sleep in peace...
Having said that- now I have a Seafari .. So I will not have to swim out to where I am anchored!
lots a thinkin to do. Its frustrating being here and not where my boat is so I can spend hours staring at the bilge.

I feel guilty also- Im getting married at the end of November, and all I can think about is my scupper problem, and my fiancee thinks about wedding bands God bless her.
I am a shameless SeaCraft owner.
