tired of duckbills? try these!

[wavesplashr]

got a friend that makes these for all skis.

screws right into your stock drain thread hole. if you get water in your ski as you ride the ball pushes outward and drains the water out. when your ski is standing still the ball is pushed in and no water gets inside. made out of anodized aluminum with a stainless steel pin

if interested you can contact him at chris@pwcdoctor.com for a set

I think i would find a way to hurt myself on that thing since it sticks out. Does he make a flush mount?

 

[TB]

i wonder how well that would work mouneted at the back wall of the bilge inside a scupper tube??

 

[wavesplashr]

turbo, good question. i just sent him a link to this thread so i should have an answer for you soon. we have more than a handfull of standups here by LBI with them and they havent said anything about hitting them. i can tell you that much for now

I have been using 1 of these plugs on my race boat for 2 weeks. Gets water out and doesn't leak like the duck bill I had.

If he could make one that is flush mount with a 1.5 or 2 inch ball it seems that it would be a great one way valve setup.

 

[surferdude345]

i saw this in person and it looked like a really good idea

 

[TB]

i'd be willing to test one out in a scupper tube and give some feedback..just getting ready to start a new build and would love the chance to get to try something new

So it does leak?

 

[Scorn800]

I meant doesn't leak. I hate spelling.
It really is a nice product. These guys will have a booth at the world Finals.

 

[wavesplashr]

scorn, yours leaks water in? i had one of his first sets made and no water gets inside. i've let my ski sitting by the ramp for some time with no leaks at all

 

[wavesplashr]

oh ok NO LEAKS

The newer seadoos have a setup like this made into the drain plugs but the ball is on the inside,I would think they would leak as some water will get past before it seals up.On either of these you could also use the duckbill as a backup.Loo at #20 on this page at world of powersports.

i really think i wanna do one as a scupper looks very interesting..i dont wanna do a regular scupper cause i like to chill in the middle of the lake alot and dont wanna have to run my bilge constantly

Your link just takes me to a page where I need to pick the year and make.

I would also be interested in getting one for the same purpose if it could be mounted so that it could be removed or serviced if it got a piece of trash in it or something.

thats what im thinking..i was thinking mount it just inside the bulk head with a gasket or something on it so all you gotta do is remove the head pipe and get to the screws or something

This seems a LOT like the seadoo valve, in the way it works. Just remember that this is only about 3/4" dia. so it won't flow a ton of water like a scupper. It won't do anything for you if you roll the ski over, either.

Sorry I tried,here you go,now what I was thinking is 5200 that to a pvc tube kind of like a mini scupper and run one on both sides or two in the middle under the driveshaft.

I have personally seen these in action.. and My boy PWC DOC Chris... Is really pimpin with all these !

Great that he has been testing them all summer.
Also They are very strong.. I have seen Chris stuff the back of his GP in the sand from like 20+ and they were fine...
