During my last ride of the Summer I had my ski sit at the ramp for 15 minutes and it had tons of water in it. Im pretty sure it all, if not mostly came from a leaky scupper. The tray is apart right now for refoam so fortunately I am able to check out the scupper.
The scupper I think is home depot style, it is plastic, 2 piece housing with a rubber flap inside. It does leak when I run some water through it. It's not as simple as replace it, because if this happens again the only way to access it is to cut the tray. There is PVC, at half way is the scupper, more pvc, then does a 90 degree bend to exit in the pump tunnel.
Any ideas? I do park the ski for a few hours at a time. I was thinking I should replace it then block it off with a rubber expansion plug so I can remove it if I ever change my mind. Or is a versiplug good for the life of the ski if it's kept clean?
