Never leave a ski (standup) floating regardless of scupper or oneway......... they have a habbit of sinking...... Water will flow up the exhuast tube and fill the waterbox!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If your 1-way ever breaks, you can always cover the exit with a scupper.

It just grey pvc with home depot valve up inside about halfway and scupper flange/flapper on the back of the ski. I just did it for double protection and since i had the ski cut open for footholds it was they way to go.

I stop and talk to peeps in the water and take a floating break sometimes. That damn scupper leaked like a sive. Was always having to hit the bilge...
This way I have double protection.

Not all one ways are small and ugly,
This is an ATP through hull bilge, designed to be a mirror image of the standard superjet exhaust.
2" pipework all the way through means it empty's faster than my wallet does when the girlfried get hold of it

Works really well actually, ive often tied my ski up and left it long enough for me to get a cup of tea or a beer and sit with the lads for a break and it hardly leaks at all.
It empty's the ski faster than anythin else ive seen too. Its billet construction means it wont break when landing from big jumps (well hasnt broke yet!)
Personally i think it looks dead cool too

Thanks guys for the responses so far. This is just an idea, but me and luke talked about it: What about a one way valve with a scupper flap(say 24/7), would it work?

Sounds cool. It protects the one way but doesnt leak like a scupper. Why didnt you bring this up in the past 113?

I'm running the Home depot scupper and mounted it on the firewall end. When it sites there is always enough pressure to keep it from leaking couse ther is a whole tube of water pushing against the flap, unlike the Blowsion one mounted at the rear. Mone doesnt seem to leak at all. and I think when mounted at the rear it takes a lot more abuse.
That thing is in good, if it ever goes out, I'm just gonna screw a 24/7 valve on it.
BIgKahuna, what are you talking about??? The exhaust tube travels at an upward angle so when it comes into the ski it is above the water line. Water will equalize in the tube, but will not travel up farther than the bond line/waterline. If your ski is sinking like this, you have a bigger problem.

Lowes 2" sump dump drain valve.... the cheapest and most effective solution IMO
