Scupper

[Julian]

I found that disconnecting the scupper hose at the cabin end and allowing the whole thing to but assembled outside the boat was a lot easier that trying to reach down to push it together....not sure if everyone else did this....then all I had to do was slide on the hose clamp and tighten it.

@Julian how did you put on the large threaded nut that came with the scupper valve? Did it slide over the drain hose?

 

[Julian]

I put it all together in the bilge...that was when I realized it was going to be a bear to push the hose onto the barb end of the scupper. So I disconnected the cabin end and slide the scupper and hose out. I just slid the hose clamp and threaded nut up the hose further. See the shot below....this was before I got smart.

Nice. That's thinking out of the box err... out of the bilge.

HA, I wish I would have thought of that when I did mine.

That IS certainly thinking outside the bilge!

Is this the correct Life Calk that you guys are using?

That is it!

That's what I used. I found it a little more user friendly than the 4200 as the set up time was a little slower.

 

[txav8r]

That's the stuff!

Great. I ordered the new scupper over the winter. Just ordered that plumping wrench another member suggested. Found a new one on ebay for $8 plus a little shipping, so the Life Calk is the last thing to get.

Thanks everyone!.

Why didn't you just put your name on the scupper wrench list? We have 2 or 3 floating around that we all just ship between each other.

I did think of that, but my life is so hectic, work, family, etc, that it's easier for me to have everything here so that when I do find time, I can knock it out. I didn't want to request the wrench and have it sitting here waiting for me and someone else needing it before I got to it.

You guys and this site have saved me a bunch of money on repairs, etc that I would have normally taken to the dealer, but felt comfortable doing myself based on the many write ups.

Thanks!

I can relate to the busy life!

Ordered mine I need to get on the scupper wrench list!

Just a quick note, your scupper will have to be modified to fit in the recess on the 2 sides. A machine shop or a grinder......etc.

I just used a bench grinder (doesn't take much) and a medium size air of channel lock pliers. Found it much easier to move or remove the starboard water box.

 

[2nazt]

I saw that but thank you for that @jcyamaharider

While you are in there are you going to put in tow valves?
