I bought the biggest thru-hulls I could find for back there. I agree with the others, the originals SUCKED!!!!

Tested scuppers today, even in reverse...NO WATER can you believe that?

On another note wife and I got caught in a H*LL of a rain storm today and was surprised at how much wound up in the bilge. Have to look into that tomorrow.
From rain there a lotta places water could find the bilge...from the sliding front hatch lid to the rod holders on top of the gunwale...is there a really good seal around your fuel tank hatch?...and inspection plates...and of course the dreaded combination of all the above...

Your setup is about what I am going to end up with. Your deck is self bailing right? How is your boat at rest as far as water on the deck is concerned?

Edit: I just saw your post in the other thread. Already answered my question, thanks!
