WHAT IS THE BEST OPTION FOR SCUPPER FLAPS

[CD155MX]

Any tried the new h2o designs I can appreciate the block off cap for a piece of mind and or failing rubber.
@McDog remember the old scupper you built with a pvc cap?!

Seems like a very nice feature. I could see people using the scupper on flatwater and then using the threaded plug in when riding surf....

I wish their site had better photos of the product. Maybe a few of the backside and info about what size pipe it works with.

Oh yeah. I still do that to my skis but I put the screw cap on the inside instead.

This glued into scupper hole on the inside of the engine bay.

I’d change my vote to that H2O designs one with the threaded cap! Best of both worlds!

Love the screw on caps! But since this is not gonna be a surf ski,no need. Definitely would be great on my old glass SF surf boat! When time to take down and rebuild I'll use it @McDog

With cap on you have a scupper tube full of water that can’t drain.

Just sealed up the last of my leaks in my project hull only to find that blowsion 1 way valve style flap scupper is leaking on the inner side of the valve. Probably the hose clamp from scupper tube to valve is loose.

I want to switch to the h2o designs flapper u guys linked. But getting this 1 way out is gona be a pain... square peg round hole problems i think.

Best and Worst flap style scuppers are now covered in this thread jk

Looks like l will end up buying a recessed Epic flap with the magnets.

I had heard there were rusting problems in saltwater. No firsthand experience.

Your info is correct. The surface of the tiny metal disc in the flap door can rust a little. I lightly scrape and sand it off when replacing the rubber flap.

Heres is my setup . I like the scupper for rinsing afterward or riding in small surf but most of the time i run it closed off with the bilge on . Nice to have an easy option

@CD155MX same back as a xscream scupper so you can swap out, uses the same pvc size as well.
