85? 23? CC Rebuild... Another water issue

[FLexpat]

For some reason I can't see the pics - says invalid album but I would check around the floor drain scuppers first. The brass tubes corrode and start leaking - it takes a lot of water to fill the bilge on a trailer to the point that it leaks out. I had a vague memory of seeing a trickle when mine was in the water so I put the plug in from the outside while it was on the trailer and ran a hose onto the deck - water drooled into the bilge from one of the scuppers before it was an inch deep on the deck...
Pulled it apart - the tube was toast and the wood backing block was rotted mulch

I can click the links and pull up the pic's but not sure where you may be getting the water from unless its like Flexpat was saying - from around the brass drain tubes.

Good morning,
I'm restoring a 1974 23' Sceptre with under water scupper drains. Water is coming back up into the boat when running. Short of totally relocating drains out the transom, is there an easier solution?
