As much as l love Blowsion parts,mine started leaking after 4 years.
On my build l'm using a zoeller one way valve and an xscream scupper.The dam thing shouldn't leak.
is it the old greenish valve that they don't sell anymore ?
my buddy has one we installed like ten years ago and it does not leak but I'm pretty sure one can not buy the same valve anymore

They all do a little....I'm going to be running a X-metal scupper on my new SJ build. I was thinking about using an internal one way valve as well however these valves work best the more water they have up against them forcing them closed. Any water that trickled by my X-metal supper would surely trickle by the internal one way valve inside. I've got a 1.5" home depot valve in my X2 and it has worked great for 3 years now. It'll be interesting to see how it compares to the Xmetal scupper.

I've got a versaplug max in my BOB on the way. I'll let you know how it does. I don't expect it to leak.

I'm trying an xmetal out. I hose clamped on some fine mesh aluminum window screen material, to the tube inside the hull, to keep the scupper free from zip ties, nuts, bolts etc...

blowsion here no leaks but I altered mine. I installed mine behind engine wall with an access and tubed it flush with the hull.

My blowsion valve leaked water into the foam, but otherwise worked properly.
I've used the home depot valve on my past two hulls. First one didn't leak a drop this one has a very tiny trickle.. You'd have to park the ski for several hours I think to do any damage. Though a forgotten ty-wrap, or a screwdriver down the tube from the inside will sink it quick, been there.

i think they are all junk in one way or the other
1 i had a 24-7 scupper ..... worked great but leaked like a mofo
2nd blowsion valve no probs so far 5 years ,im happy with it
diff ski i have a zoller valve , same as the blowsion but fraction of the price - leaks baddly but not as bad as 24-7

Same here
thank for the input i will give the home depot valve a shot. i have a threaded fitting in the rear so i can plug the one way tube just encase the boat dies and the valve leaks. I'm not running foam so the plug could save my ski some day.
i have also used the stock siphon to remove any water that may enter the tray area.
this with two bilge pumps i should be good to go, triple redundancy never fails:fingersx:

my blowsion valve never leaked... was awesome.
in my current ski I am running an XFT 3" monster scupper. It's works really well and really only leaks if something gets stuck in it... part of a ziptie etc.

Same setup I have and till this day I haven't needed to cap off the scupper tube. As a matter of fact, I gave up on the bilge pumps about a year into the one-way. There was just no need for them.
