I have the same issue. I know a lot of people raise the floor but I'm not ready for that yet. I'd like to know what everyone else says about those other scuppers too.....

Thanks so much. Are those able to be mounted on the side as well? Are they flush when mounted? Looks like they may stick out but I may not be looking at it correctly. Thanks again

plug em when your fishing and pull em when your running, make sure everyone in your crew understands what they r and what they do in case you take one over the transom. I had 1 76 cc with motor 2 stroke 200 on the notch . i had moved console up 5 inches and had an auxillary tank (40 gal) up front. I had very little problem with that set up. i now have a 76 cc with flotation bracket with 225 four stroke, stock console location with fuel tank as forward as possible, and a 25 gal fresh water tank forward and batteries under the console. This sits almost as well as my old one. Moving batteries helps also. Good luck you have an amzing boat and that power sounds sweet, how fast is she prob. @ 46??

they do stick out because of the ping pong ball cover, when water pushes against them they stop the water from coming in like a check valve

I thought so. Thanks for clarifying. Are those type scuppers only meant for the transom or can you still use them on the side scuppers?

If they can't be used on the sides, how do the flap style scuppers work?

Thanks for your help.

What was that one way scupper contraption that was posted on here a long time ago that helped the straight down scuppers on the old 20's? I think Father Frank came up with it if I'm remembering correctly? The "Vortex" or something, parts out of the home depot plumbing isle, looks like something out of a garbage disposal.

I'd go with the ping pong ball type check valves, as I think they are less susceptible from defeat from debris. I've heard stories of the duckbill type leaking because trapped debris kept them from sealing completely. However if you're leaving the boat in the water, you aren't too far from a "mode shift" from self-bailing to self-sinking! I'd look at moving batteries, etc. to get some weight forward to get a little more self bailing margin!

I use the "vortex" type check valves, and I believe they work best in the vertical scuppers because it depends on the water pressure in the tube to collapse the glove finger. I use them when diving or fishing when I'm gonna have water on the deck anyway, because they allow it to drain off automatically. (Note: haven't tried the condom option, but I make them using Nitril gloves instead of vinyl or latex, as that material seems to be more durable!) However they don't seal perfectly. My waterline is about like yours, and if you're sitting or standing in the back of the boat, water will slowly seep in. When I'm cruising and want a dry deck, I use the rubber plugs and would use those and depend on bilge pump and a good battery if I left boat in water for a long period of time.

By the way, how do you like that E-Tec?

That is what I put on my boat this year.......took it out for a shakedown run last weekend and had water shooting up a foot high out of the floor of my boat. I think my outlets are a little close to the side of the hull.The water comes around the corner while running, and the scuppers catch the water and pump it onto the deck.... I will try turning them a quarter turn next weekend and see how that works. On the bright side the water ran out FAST after I stopped.
