Re: Check those scupper hoses, people.


 

Bob, are your thru hulls flush or are the bronze mushroom type? Also, are yours beginning to seep seawater into the locker?

i placed a large boat fender between the scuppers and res of lazarette to somewhat protect them. i might fabricate some type of large pvc tube to encase the whole lemgth of scupper to prevent damage. my old boat, a Tanzer 22 had full lemgth fiberglass scuppers molded in.

Thanks for the tip, Dave. I have worried that those hoses were
vulnerable to impact from something getting loose or snagged on them in
the lockers. My through hulls are just below the waterline and I suspect
they need to be rebedded. When I pull mine out I'll be potting the holes
to avoid core rot. (Or fixing the rot that's already there!)

There is a 'level wrap' silicon rubber tape that will seal to itself and
might get you to the end of the season. Here's the consumer version...
