Va Beach v20 project

[Kracker Jack]

Well today due to the holiday I was able to rough in my sole and also cut the hole for my splash "sump well". I recessed the rough opening on the sump liner hole so I can glue in my fabricated splash well and glass over the lip flush with the my glass for my sole.

looking good keep up the good work and if i may ask what are scuppers i am still grinding getting closer to being done though

[Kracker Jack]

Mike a scupper works as a one way type valve allowing water out of the boat through a transom hole but a flapper on the outside does not allow water to come back inside the boat. search scupper on google

As Kracker Jack stated above, a scupper is nothing more than a way to let water out of the boat automatically....it can be a hole or a channel. On most small boats it's a hole, and on large boats it's a channel. A check valve, which can be simply a flapper at the end of the hole or a more complicated ball assembly inside the hole keeps the water from coming back in.

guy i work with has a two ball scuppers mounted in the bilge through the transom. he has plugs that fit so he can plug them off if needed, but he says that if he takes a wave any water in the boat gets sucked out when he is moving by the prop. kinda neat idea just not sure how well it would work and not sure i like the idea of any hole in the boat bieng below the water line
