the scuppers on my 81 came from the factory draining into the motor well, I'm going to increase the size of hose and scuppers (I never thought 3/4 id hose is enough) and plan to add a couple to the transom from the motor well.

I definitely get less water in the bilge when the deck drains are plugged. With the boat sitting still, the waterline is about 1" below the top of the deck drain. Just a little more weight in the back and the waters coming in and going straight to the bilge. There's really only 2 good solutions. Raise the deck, or make sure you have a good bilge pump and a strong battery.

If I were you, I would keep those floor drains plugged.

I THINK THAT I WILL JUST KEEP PLUGGING UP THE DECK DRAIN HOLES.bUT THEN WILL I HAVE ANY WATER ENTERING THE BILGE AREA??I ALWAYS SEEM TO HAVE MORE WATER THERE SINCE I PLUG THE HOLES.

Water on the deck has to go somewhere, if the drains are plugged then it will find the bilge on an I/O. On an O/B, the water just piles up til you open up the drains again.

What you need is some kids. Mine love to be a part of the boat operation, they put in or take out the plugs whenever I need em to.

Got an '89 Cuddy. Been out in nasty weather many times never ever had any problem. Even taking waves over the bow, a gallon would be a new record in the bilge area.
