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

We have always put our plugs on the inside of the bilge on our garboard drain. This would allow us to pull the plug from the inside when we on plane to allow water to drain out. One hole below the water line is good enough for me!!! LOL!!

I will be glassing the bottom of my sole tomorrow with a single layer of 1.5 ounce CSM. And of course pictures will follow. I will also be setting up and installing my tele-flex and controls chase pipe from my console to my transom.

When I used to have 15' Steury that's always how we drained the bilge.
Come up on plane and pull the plug.. the water drains out really quickly, and then you simply put the plug back in. Never even heard of putting a plug on the outside of the hull till I moved up in size to my first V20
