|  Re: New scuppers for me at least. 
			
			 Vic, I replaced the scuppers in my boat with Brass Bar drains. Same size as the original equipment. They come with a threaded nipple that I cut off and I put a street ell to make a fast 90 to go out the side. The clogs aren't bad, the worst thing is the little plastic caps on the tops of water bottles. If your in the hood stop and look.

			Nice picture fillet. Same set up as mine except I just let the water drain directly onto the shelf and into the bilge through the cut out on the shelf. Might want to double clamp that hose since it's on a thru hull. If I do the hose, I'm going to send it directly to the bilge rather than through the hull. We'll have to check back on it at the end of the season to see how you like your set up after fish guts, leaves and other junk passes through there.

			Fillet, Ct, That looks exactly like the area where my batteries have been sitting. Some one posted about scuppers on another tread about making an inside plug. to keep the deck dry during fishing. Then pulling the plugs when they run to drain, which sounds good. That or a valve in each scupper line.  CT, My deck is also solid with no rot. It was just that trapped water. After 20 years of sand and crap clogged the manufactured holes. I also noticed that some of the woven on the stringers was split from the hull torking. These hulls are strong enough, I would'nt worry to much. I have a pickup tube through the bottom back of the hull that is for the makeshift live well I made that sits on the bracket. I put 5200 around the threads of the fitting and cranked down on a hose clamp. Doesnt leak at all.
