scupper feed back

[FL-cracker]

What scupper are you running, and how bad does it leak? I have already been through all the scupper threads, it is time for a new one!:biggthumpup: No one seems to agree on one scupper in particular so post what you got, and wich one you would go with if you did it over.:biggrin:

any feedback would be great.

no one way valve for this guy.

 

[beachedflunkey]

Lowe's one-way valve :sneaky:

edit: and a scupper :cool2:

 

[The Penguin]

there's an interesting thought.

what if you put a one-way valve in with a scupper on the end of it.

redundancy

 

[chad]

yeah I use a 24-7 with a sump pump one way valve

 

[Matt_E]

I use a 2inch sump pump valve, and 2 electric bilges.
You can get all that for less than what a scupper costs.

 

[yamaslut]

I told ya i the other thread what is the most reliable and cheapest....

Lowes sump dump drain valve...

quit fing around and just go get one... :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

if ya have to have a scupper, get and x-metal

 

[Frosty]

I have a blowsion one way valve in my RN... works great.

However, I have two Lowe's one way sump valves in my SN... and they also work great... for a fraction of the cost...

 

[yamazee]

If you must spend the money on it. Dont F-around call Pat and get an X-Metal one. Works great and it looks pimped.

 

[demolition_x]

lowes... if you still think it leaks then buy an external one later.

Listen to the one who knows.
The only reason I have a scupper is because it was already ordered when Slutty enlightened me.

Here's what I put in

Not a drop of water after the ski was docked for 2 hours.
Nuff said.

what is that there with the arrows? looks like it doesn't take too big of a hole to fit. i need something like that! where did you get it, or what did you make?

 

[Ross_C]

Just a word of caution for you guys that ride in the surf with just a one-way valve. Myself and two other guys I ride with have blown them out.

I think they are probably the best option for flat water casue they don't leak, but if you blow it out, it is much easier to replace a scupper...

 

[Mark44]

I use the 24-7 and this may sound strange but I like it to leak a little. When we go on trips and let the ski sit overnight at the waters edge the ski filles with water and doesn't float off it sits there like a rock. I have also installed the lowes valve in a friends ski and left enough room on the back of the hull for a future 24-7 incase the oneway ever goes out.

The thing with the arrows is the Lowes sump dump one way valve.
Actually, it's the Lowes valve with a 2" coupling on either side instead of the rubber couplers it comes with.
The front has a 2" clean out that I ground down a bit to make it the same diameter as the couplings.
I have a 2" plug that screws in from the engine side of the bulk head that is hanging in the hull on a piece of rope.
If the Lowes valve fails (Slutty claims that he never lost one) and the 24/7 scupper takes a shait I have the plug as back up.

 

[demolition_x]

what if you got the valve to dump into the pump cavity?

wouldn't that put a little less stress on it?

 

[Boris]

My valve is all the way up by the bulk head. I don't think it's in any danger.

 

[demolition_x]

yea or maybe putting 2 valves in line...

 

[Boris]

I do have 2 valves in line, the Lowes and 24/7.

 

[demolition_x]

well 2 lowes valves

 

[Boris]

That might be overkill.

I tied my ski off to my dock for 2 hours. Went inside to have something to eat, destroyed a few empty soda cans with my neighbours BB gun, hung around waiting for 5pm (I have a huge no wake zone back to the ramp that ends at 5pm).
Jumped into the water, popped off the hood and found no water in the bilge.

A few of the Surf sluts have preformed an extensive Surf evaluation of just the Lowes valve (without the additional scupper) with no problems reported.

I'm sold.
