Well, based on all the recommendations here, I ordered a set of the TH Marine ball scuppers to replace the old ball scuppers on the Lori-K.
Foolishly, I didn't measure first...
Now the boat is hauled out for bottom paint (just for this week!) and I find out that these TH Marine scuppers are TINY!!! (they just arrived yesterday).
Seriously, you guys with 25' Parkers drain your decks with just two of these? That sure would make me nervous...! I think I could suck water through a straw faster...
Anyway, I'm now in a scramble to find replacements I can get by Friday when the boat goes back in the water, and of course, West Marine doesn't carry any Ball Scuppers, nor do they have any in their catalog.
It looks like the ones that came off are "Rabud". I installed them about 4 years ago, and I don't remember where I bought them, but I thought it was from Defender.com - however they just carry "Sea Choice"
Does anyone know of a LARGE size ball scupper that has a removable cover like the TH Marine ones?
The hole diameter on the ones I'm replacing is 1-3/4" and the ball diameter is 2". The square outlet is 1" x 1.625"
You can see the size difference in this photo...
