Looks great!

I'm kicking myself, could have done it a couple years ago while installing the ballast intakes, I was right there! Oh, well.



All those thru-hull fittings are usually two persons jobs, I had my trusted assistant help me, we even devised an improv tool to keep the intake manifold from rotating during the install (yeah, I was the one crawling on the inside, it was not pretty, lol).

How brittle was the plastic one?

Any issues with the installation?

Its a quick process but a bit of a PITA. Not sure if there is a special wrench to get the nut on once the threaded part is installed. I had my daughter watch to make sure it stayed lined up correctly while I tried to squeeze my arms into that tight a$$ space. I did use 5200 sealant to seat the scupper valve and on the nut for the threads.

Actually it was in good shape. I do feel much better though. Thanks again.

Yep. Better safe than sunk. Mine looked fine, too, when I replaced it. But I am happier.

My 2016 oem plastic scupper was not brittle at all it was in better shape than expected.
It sucked getting anything to turn properly in that area to tighten the nut. Thats why i bought a crows foot to use with a long extension. Worked perfectly
