Makida, have you looked into replacing your scuppers with ball scupper units? I used the TH Marine Flow Max ones on my 1700. I used to need plugs whenever the boat was at rest, especially when launching, or the boat would start flooding to a couple inches deep at the transom. With the new scuppers, hardly a DROP and no plugs to worry about. For something like $15 apiece, even if the plastic seal wears out in a couple years it's more than worth the upgrade.
Makes sense. I've had other manufacturers' products in the past and have had the problem you describe. The THs seem like they have a bigger opening and I haven't had an issue with them yet, but time will tell. If your only need for them is boarding/launching, the plugs are the way to go. It gets to be annoying when you've got to pull them out/put them in each time you start or stop moving.Yes. I had the ping pong balls on a previous boat. Problem I had was any tiny piece of line, kelp, eel grass, etc and they would leak. Here on the West Coast we have a lot of weeds floating around. The pull plugs should be great for my application getting in and out of boat as well as launching. After climbing in I just pull the plugs once we’re on our way.
is this trolling ? we sunk ours twice at the dock with the transom to the weather. I moor them now
My development has a very nice pier in Key Largo with slips for docking boats. 2 or 3 swamp every year with the transom to the weather. My 23DVCC Parker is moored to 1000 pounds of concrete with 2 heavy chains to the bow eye I change every 5 years. We just had a week of very windy weather of 30 to 35 MPH winds and gusts to 40 which is unusual for May. No problem on the mooring.
