Best scupper

[Motoman947]

Looking to put a scupper valve in my ski (backie chan), wondering what the best one to get is. And easiest to install because ive never done one, so ill be learning as I go.

The ski already has drains so im not exactly sure how its going to work with a hole already there, if I can incorporate it into the bigger hole? Any help is appreciated, thanks

One option would be to use the screw in type. They work pretty good.

While you have it apart put some kind of screen in so that you dont end up with a screwdriver or zip tie holding it open.

Good call on a screen. A sliver of epoxy holding my scupper open made my bilge pump work overtime when idling through no wake. The best scupper is one that doesn't leak.

Not a bad idea. Just had a m6 bolt stuck in there and nearly sunk my ski. Luckily I was in waist deep water when I noticed.

I had an end of a zip tie get me once. I am careful not to let anything drop in the hull now and I pull the scuppers off and check them regularly.

Blowsion’s “cool as poop” scupper looks like a nice set up, does anyone have experience with it?
