Deck drains

Smoker,

Can you post a pic of your drains out the side??
I'm going to be redoing the drains and I'm still not sure what is best.
Thanks

I don't care for the Rabuds. The T-H one's are better. They have a stop screw that you back out a little and then you can give a 1/4 twist to remove them and clean the ball when it get's dirty. With the Rabuds you have to remove all the screws and unbed them.

I like the slightly smaller rabuds better because the T-H scuppers have too much room in the clear case. At rest, the very slight pressure allows the ball to float off of the hole, allowing water in. I made the switch, and wish I hadn't. Now I usually plug the rear drains to keep water out.

Pogden, I was refering to the drains for the corner compartments on the transom, not the scuppers. Sorry for the misunderstanding.RS.
