Possible Leaking Scuppers???????????

Fellowship....I'd love to see a photo of your setup...

Bushwhacker -

I like your process, and as my scupper tubes need to be changed out as well, will probably follow your lead -

Question - I went to the BOW website, but couldn't find those brass tubes - where do they have them hidden ? And, are they pre-flared at one end ?

thanks

Bill

Bill - The tubes are flared on one end. Don't know what the P/N was. I just called the store in Riveria Beach and ordered them; they had 'em by 0900 the next morning! Their number is 561-845-7777. Home office is in Ft. Lauderdale, 800-262-8799, email: [email protected]

Denny - Muchas Gracias

If I had a wish, it would be for you to get some of those pix you showed me at Anclote, scanned, and see them here -

Folks, here is a gent, who has taken a 20' Seafari, across to Bimini, multiple times..... How many gas cans did you have in that boat, Denny ? Whew !!!!!

Not Bimini (that's only ~50 miles, just across Gulf Stream); was to the Abaco's on east side of the Bahamas (Green Turtle & Man'O War Cay), more like 150-160 mi. (nautical!) I carried enough fuel to run all the way, about 80 gal.; 34 of it was even in the main tank! Had 6 great trips about 30 years ago. . too bad trips like that are no longer practical in a small boat, what with expensive cruising permits, $6/gal gas and miniscule fish limits!

bushwacker,
thanks for the idea. it sounds like it might just work like u are saying. u will probably get to that stage before i do so please let me know how that works out for u. thanks in advance

Here's a link to some photos of the PVC plug I used to create a pilot hole for redrilling hole after epoxy fill. http://s188.photobucket.com/albums/z...scupper%20fix/
Details of process were contained in my earlier post on this subject.

the pics do not work for me

[Bushwacker]

Didn't work for me either. Will try again tomorrow after getting some professional help!

[Bushwacker]

trying again . .
Last shot is from under hull looking up thru hole; was trying to show mismatch which was about 1/32", which was easily filled with 5200. Boat was in water for 3 days last week and didn't leak a drop!

It looks like I have water coming in around the brass tubes that go down into the scuppers on my 20-foot seacraft. It's 1974 and there is a small Gap around the end of those tubes on the bottom side of the hull. I'm sitting in the water I see a small trickle coming in. I would have to imagine there is some rot inside there on one or both around that brass tube fitting. Is it something that could be fixed or at least stopped for the short-term with 5200? Eventually I plan on separating The Owl and the liner and having the transom closed in as well as recoring the Decks as there is definite rot and saw spots on the Rays portion forward of the first large Locker. The whole around the down tubes for the scuppers seems completely solid, again although I realize there is likely rot in there. But before I do any involved repair work I'd like to get some more time out of the boat. Do you think 5200 will suffice. Again it is a small Gap but I do see water seeping in and it looks like there or cracks between the hole and around where these cover tube is class 10 just below the liner.
