cockpit scuppers 20 SF20

[ocuyler]

My 23 is a trailer boat. Although it cost 3 or 4 dollars, and is an arguable solution, Salty Dog and I chose to fill in the transom scuppers entirely our my 23 and drain the cockpit directly to the bilge.

Stainless steel screens blocks debris. An all new triple Rule bilge pump setup backed up by a washdown pump with diversion valve for the bilge will keep her dry. A dedicated group 27 battery will manage that load.

It might be a long way to go to do this, but we've reduced the number of through hull fittings, a major sourse of potential water incursion.

The addition of the mooring cover will keep rain water to a minimum.

We'll see how it works out.
