See the problem is I sit here and read all the threads and decide I need to do something, so this came in today and is on the list for the next couple days while I have the hatch off and working back there.

Not a bad idea in general, but isn't your boat new enough that yours are above the water line?

The new boats moved it to the water line. Any weight on the stern and its below the water line.

Its close

FYI, my hose going to the original scupper valve was not tight with the clamp at all. I could undo the nut on the clamp by hand without tools

Good to know, still learning a year later about these fine machines. Thank you as usual

I got in there last weekend and tightened EVERY clamp. Not gonna say they were all hand loose, but literally NONE of them were what I would call tight.

Pulled my scupper today after removing my cleanout tray. I didn't have a single hose clamp that was loose, my issues are sealant related.

Here's the measurements of the scupper:

Re:waterline. At best, mine appears to be 50/50. IIRC, I couldn't take a pic on the water because my phone isn't even water resistant, and I'd have to put my phone under to get to the scupper.

I CAN verify that when moored, I can get water onto the lower swim platform by standing on a corner of it, and a gentle bounce. I also get a nice duckweed line halfway between the bottom of the blue color and the black bumper strip.

Until the water comes up a touch more and I can finally put in, these pics of the back will have to do:

So I hope this isn't a stupid question/comment, but I have short arms (32 sleeve length)! I really don't think I'll be able to reach it!
I know some have said that it's a PITA, but will I actually be able to do it? I know that I'll need an assistant.

What year/model is your boat? I just did mine and it was pretty easy.

It seems like it's deep in the bowels of your boat, but once you remove your cleanout tray, access is simple, and you should see that it will be no problem for you. As long as you have a wrench to fit the new scupper, and can tighten everything down nicely, you'll be perfectly fine. Get yourself the wrench, secure a helper to make things easier, and have at it. Here's everything I used to swap mine out:





Mark the top of the scupper on the threads/inside part of the scupper so you know the proper orientation when looking at it from the inside. See my blue mark:






On the outside ring of the new scupper, mark whatever you need for orientation if you have a helper.





I used a pry bar to hold the scupper in position. Test the fit of whatever you're going to use before you ever add sealant to the new scupper. Here's a look at how the pry bar was used on my scupper to hold it in its proper orientation while tightening the nut.






A helper is NOT required to do this, but it WILL make things much easier. Only thing I didn't show is some paper towels to clean up squeeze out, and stuff I used to remove the old sealant. I'm no Kareem Abdul-Jabbar either, if my measurements are correct, I'm a 33, so you can do this!

Thank you! From the outside it looks like it is totally out of reach.

Shameless plug for unrelated topic: If anything below the waterline breaks, it's the bilge alarm that will alert you and buy you time to address before it's too late to enjoy the rest of your day with minimal expense to repair. If you want to increase your defenses against a broad range of things that can go wrong, consider a bilge float and bilge alarm/indicator, and possibly more bilge pump power.

I'll snap a pic in a bit, along with a tape measure so you can see how deep it actually is.

I was trying to beat the rain, so the pic fell by the wayside, but from the topside cleanout hatch, the nut holding the scupper is less than 2 feet away, prolly closer to 15-18".

Does anyone know what size that nut is? They make tube sockets for inner tie rods, maybe one will work.
