why would you remove the tray?
you drill 2 holes, one at the rear, and one in the engine back, then your take a piece of PVC and cut some teeth, use it to work the PVC from the rear hole to the front hole, then replace the tube, and seal the PVC to the hull.

It's accually pretty easy.
Thats exactly how I thought of it but I wasnt sure if I had to seal the PVC from the inside of the hull. every build ive seen has been done like that..
Is the one-way the same dia. as the PVC ? What size PVC do I use btw..

Heck with pvc with teeth look at Surferdudes avatar.. Use a die grinder or drill and a 2 inch cup brush on a couple of extentions. You can just push it through that foam like it is butter. A scupper install shouldn't be more than an hour at most. If you have a good hole saw and a good diegrinder.

a scupper will remove water much faster than a one way valve, but unless you are competing, I would go with a one way valve.

you dont have to tear up your tray to install a scupper or one way.

if you got the one way from homedepot they are round. so you could drill a hole the outside diamter of the one way in the bulkhead and slide in the one way right behind the bulkhead. then you would have to glass the piece back in. with a 2inod and slide that over the pipe and glass or glue it back in place
just a thought.

I would just do a scupper. A scupper will leak a bit of water. If you leave your ski float in the water for hours on end I wouldn't do a scupper but for 30 minutes while you talk or take a break I wouldn't worry about it. If you use a one way valve there is the possibility of it blowing out when landing off of a jump and then you have to install a scupper over the end of the one way. Plus the one way needs a super clean install in the back so it looks good with the scupper it covers the pvc pipe and looks finished install when done.
And about the 24-7 install that is the easiest place to drill the hole on the inside but it won't remove any water until it gets 2 inches high. Place it flat on the bottom of the hull.

Thats why you mount it on the firewall side. No leaky, no blow out.
Ya, See pic, mine is pretty low.

I wouldn't cut a hole in my ski at all unless it is on a beach stand. If not on a stand then get an automatic bilge pump and a new battery you WILL need it.

I'm thinking about running 2 xft scuppers and a right rear side exhaust. but also having 2 cheap one way valves on each tube further forward just as a back up. Has anyone done this and had any negative efects from using both a one way and a scupper?
