Scuppers
My '78 23 Sc has these small 3/4" tubes for scuppers...they don't drain very well. Has anyone come up with a way to improve them? Or is this just something you have to live with....This is the only "flaw" in an otherwise awesome hull...

Re: Scuppers
I'm amused by the beer thing...and it's a great idea that I'm sure works well. Fortunately, I don't have much problem with water coming in, it's just slow going out. I was trying to find someone who might have put larger scuppers in. I have a 21 Trophy (for sale) and it has four scuppers with the little rubber flap deal on the transom. A lot of Trophy owners pitched them in favor of the Rabud ball type. I heard someone say one time "you can judge a good offshore cockpit by the scuppers", for whatever thats worth. I think I am going to re-do the deck this winter (there are some cracks to fix) and put in larger scuppers. Maybe your Vortex in a larger diameter will be the answer....thanks for the idea...

Re: Scuppers
The ones in the above picture are very similar to the original ones installed on my 89 SeaCraft 23WA and they work great as long as you don't wash a big chunck of herring or other bait down them and it gets stuck. Easily cleaned out w/a hose though.
The Seasports are mfg's here in town and they have used the ping pong balls style for years and the seems to work well also. I would be tempted to install the 3/4 inch ones in my engine well to keep water from coming in the drain holes. The deck plate in the engine well is cracked and leakes like a sieve letting water get inside the hull sometimes. Not a real big problem, just a nuisance.
