SXR Duckbill and Foam question

[Matt_E]

I am clueless when it comes to SXRs.
Do they come stock with duckbill drains? What are they draining, the bilge, or the rear portion of the hull?
If it's the rear portion, do they have foam, or do they run without foam?

Thanks.

They drain the engine compartment.

Comes with a screw cap like the sit downs...

I believe the SXR is foamed, but I never tore into mine when I had it.

My guess is they have some kind of scupper tube, but it's only 1" (whatever the diam is for a duckbill)?

The sxr's have a drain plug on the left side but drain out of the engine compartment from the left side behind the tool kit and underneath the driveshaft. They have styrofoam in them.

HERES WHAT I JUST FOUND OUT! subsxr told evryone he put a scupper on with no tube inside an peps diddnt think it was a good idea!!! HE SAID DRIP DRY!!

i do now i just looked at my sxr an the rear factory drain plug just goes into the gunwal with no type of tube!!!

kawi uses a idfferent kind of foam that doesnt hold water like sj foam!!

its the same type of foam YOUR SUPERJETS HAVE IN THE NOSE OF THE SKI!!!
so just make a biiger hole an put the scupper on!!

The white stuff is usually EPS or expanded poly styrene, I have seen it absorb water after a long exposure time. It could be the stuff in the X2 hood, not sure what that is, its more plastic-like.

looks like styrofoam to me, just a little stronger. I always wondered how wet my 2 part expanding foam I used for the footholds is getting though...

 

[oxnard111]

Very interesting... Someone needs to find an expandable non-water absorbent type of foam. Then all our problems would be solved.

WDK swears his foam will not hold water..........I dont know what kind it is though....

 

[team510]

all the sxr's would have real heavy foam it held water real good..they all have that drain plug that just goes into the gunwall!!! it doesnt feel wet on my ski!!!
