Thanks guys. I use the expansion plug trick now. I use to have ball scuppers before the resto and like you said, they work, just not 100%, but the flapper scuppers are cracked as it is... I figured they should have lasted longer then 4 years, but anyways, something had to go there so might as well do something to help with the issue.


During the resto, the guy who did all the hull fittings couldn't located the "ball" scuppers for the side either, which were a sharp 90 degree from the side deck to the side outlet, so there is nothing there but an elbow and a drain screen in the deck to the hull drain. I'm going to see if i can locate the correct scupper there as well and do a replacement of that, which is no simple task, but will keep the boat somewhat drier.

Do you plug the side rear drains as well? looks like they are def below the water line. those are the ones that scare me on my 18.
