Water came in the scuppers when we were at the

Are mounting a leaning post for us. Thoughts?

If you are standing there looking at them they will let water in - standing on the dock looking at them ?? MIne will drain with nobody in the boat no problem, my splashwell drains have flappers and get really no water in there - hence my comment earlier about Bush's idea of ping pong ball scuppers - they would be needed. it should drain no problem with nobody in the boat as somebody else mentioned also.

Putting it on a trailer - as soon as it contacts the trailer you are pushing the stern down, the further up it goes the further the transom is pushed down - steeper the ramp worse it is. On a very low tide at one steep ramp I go to I can get water coming over the transom when its cranked up all the way. Most ramps and most tides that doesn't happen but it should would be pouring in the scuppers - not a good indicator
