I know guys have done it but my scupper flap on my rickter fr2 is on it's way out. Anyone have pictures of how they put a versaplug max in there
Custom/Hybrid Rickter scupper versaplug install

Just seen that elproffesor has released a versaplug that fits right in the rickter tube(72mm) as i was thinking of buying it myself as my flap is starting to crack.

Wow that is a great idea. Every Rickter IMO needs one of these. I was thinking of making one myself but never got around to it. Thanks for the link

Looks like a great product. I'll be looking at one of these when my flap goes.

I run these plugs on my B1, brilliant kit, don't leak and drain really.
New XFS comes with these for tray drains as standard. Main scupper is still flapped, but I might swap to one of these, nice link

Here is mine. Super simple install with the smaller surface mount versiplug. Works REALLY good, and ski can float upside-down for minutes before swamping. With the flapper my ski would have sunk in seconds.
What did you use to mount the versiplug R with?

Cut out a piece of aluminum sheet with a hole saw to fit where the flapper went. Dont remember the diameter off hand. Then drilled it out to match factory scupper screws. @Breese08SJ had the material and did the super clean install while we turfed the ski. I know other guys did same thing with carbon fiber panels. I'd MUCH rather have the smallest possible drain hole.... for the times the ski gets away from you in the waves and is rolled upside down. Ideally I'd never run any scupper, but for a washout hull drain this is the safest compromise. I'm sure someone could sell these to all the Rickter owners with the automatic-sink flapper still installed.

Rickter are using Versaplugs as part of the 2015 XFS Competition Ninja hull from the factory, used to drain the foamless tray, seems like a fair endorsement to me..
Been running them on my B1 and RIB for years, work a peach.
Doubt it'll be long before they move to a large one for the main scupper

Bringing this back from the dead! Did your mini scupper suck exhaust and choke your engine at certain speeds? What model of versiplug is that?
No, the small ones don’t suck in exhaust… I have one on a new ski I have… versa plug “R”
jetmanic sells them…
I still have water in the hull at times…I do still have a working pump tunnel scupper installed too… I think the best solution is to install a stock siphon bilge system, but that can take some doing and expense… .I did it on a buddies ski and his is always dry…
