Scuppers  WaterComing In Through the Scuppers  PostedBy: Fitz, SuncatDaysailer  Drain Tubes and Scuppers  PostedBy: David Green  while back I noted that I occasionally saw (small amounts of) water coming into the cockpit from the self-bailing  drains when heeled over. Not wanting to mess with drain plugs, someone (I forget who - sorry!) suggested these  transom mounted scuppers with self-sealing float balls. A  They may look a little funny, but since installing them, we haven't seen any water in the cockpit at all. West Marine #1930353, Flow Max Ball Scupper or Overton’s #33467 Flow Max Scupper  (http://www.overtons.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?i=33467&pdesc=Flow_Max_Scupper ).  he pvc tubes as drains don't seem to be water tight with the plugs (Picnic Cat). So on George Hayward's suggestion I  bought two brass 1 x 3 drain tubes (West Marine part 355511) and epoxied them into place from the cockpit into the  pvc tubes. They work perfect with the existing plugs and don't leak. T  Next George suggested the Flow Max Ball Scupper (West Marine part 1930353). Instead of removing the existing scupper,  I just cut out the black flapper (which didn't work anyway), removed the screws and then mounted these new scuppers  right on the back of the old one (the holes match perfectly) with 1 1/4 inch screws and a little marine caulk. (I left the old  ones in place because they seemed really well "glued" on and the new ones fit so well right on the top of the old.) They  seem to work better when the boat is not moving than the old scuppers, but if your flappers are working well I wouldn't  111
