Scupper valves

[Atlas135]

Has anyone changed the scupper valves out? They seem to be fairly stiff.. When I wash the boat down one of them drains easy, the other is very slow... I wonder if there is a way to open them manually when rinsing the boat and closing them when under way? What yall think? Am I the only one with this issue?

Just do away with them.

Just do away with them.

Not sure that would be a wise move.

Yeah... I think they are a fairly important in keeping the boat above the water.

Lol. Took them out on day one. I saved them just in case and I have never taken on any water.

One of mine was just sticking. Used a straightened coat hanger down to the valve to loosen it up. Now works fine.

My starboard side stuck today. Hose tricked both sides. Will be removing them completely next week.
