Scupper Valve Replacement

[Johanv09]

Can you recommend the stainless steel scupper valve brand used as a substitute for the OEM plastic valve? I plan to replace it before it breaks and would like to purchase the correct replacement. My boat is a 2023 AR220.

Go online and find a parts diagram with exploded view to see what you have on there. From there, you should be able to obtain measurements from multiple places, and compare it to the linked one I've posted.

It's likely that one will fit any boat, but I'm not going to say that's a guarantee, and waiting for someone with an identical boat to chime in may have you waiting. You could easily remove the nut on the inside of the bilge, then break the seal and slide it out the back end of the boat to get measurements of your very own scupper. If it falls apart, count your blessings that it happened right then, instead of while on the water, and put in your order with the expedited shipping option

I bought that one for mine without doing any measurements. The flange covers a large area, so as long as you have space around the existing scupper, and the hose is a 1.5" hose, I can offer reasonable certainty that will suit your purpose.

Grab this wrench as well - you likely don't have anything large enough to get around the nut on the backside, and these things are cheap

These are the ones I used on my boat, GemLux are the oem supplier for the stainless fittings on our boats. On my boat there are two oem scuppers, one for the deck drain and another for the live well drain.

On some of the boats the outside flange sits between two raised areas so you need to make sure the flange will fit in that area if that’s how yours is, one of the members had to grind a couple of flats in his to get it to fit.

When you install the scupper do it dry to make sure everything fits correctly then pull it apart and slather on plenty of 3M 5200, put it under the flange and under the nut, it should spooge out everywhere to assure a great seal. Be sure and put two hose clamps on the hose, most of the time I’ve only seen a single hose clamp on the oem install. Use a heat gun to soften the hose a bit before removal and install, it makes it a lot easier.

If I were to do the scupper replacement over again id remove the oem spiral hose and use the hose listed below. Id also have used it on the extra deck drains I put in too. This vinyl hose so much easier to get a good seal with hose clamps instead of fighting the ridges of the oem spiral hose. I used the smaller diameter hose when I installed my second bilge pump, which is much better than the oem bilge hose as the west marine hose is much more flexible.
