After using the search function and reading most of the "scupper" related posts, I do not see a consensus on whether changing to a stainless steel scupper is warranted on the newer boats (I think 2015 and newer) where the scupper placement is higher , and possibly above the water line.

As such, I thought I would start this post to get the Board's consensus... Have you replaced your 2015+ scupper. If so, Why? What part did you use as a replacement? How did the process go?

OR...Did you decide against it? If so, why?

ALSO..Pros/cons... Deciding too, but waiting? Haven't made a decision yet?

What are the Board's opinions?
2016 242x e - just replaced it the other day, because I could and it's one less thing to worry about after reading all the horror stories here about them failing. Easy peasy used the attwood SS one and loctite pl (similar to the 3m 4200), and a plumbers wrench from HD (cut the handle in half for better access). ~1hr job
