What is a Boat?
A boat is a vessel that floats on water because it is shaped to be full of air. Usually a boat is small enough to be moved by the strength of men, applied to oars or poles. However, many vessels that use sails or engines are also called boats. The raft, made of logs bound together, which floats merely because the wood is lighter than water, probably came before the boat; but that was so long ago that no one can say. Men were making boats thousands of years before written history began.
How To Unclog A Scupper On Your Boat
Scuppers are designed to drain water off the vessel, not bring it on board and into the bilge. If you install drains to the bilge you will have effectively created a controlled sinking of your vessel. I suggest managing the water on the deck and keeping it out of the vessel. If your scuppers are round you can get rubber flaps for the exterior or stepped rubbers plugs that wedge in from the deck side. Plugs will keep water from coming in but they also will not allow water to go out. Attach a length of line to back of the plugs and you canpull them as if needed to drain the deck. If your scuppers are square (rectangular) install the exterior rubber flaps. That may be enough to solve your problem or at least make it manageable. The exterior flaps will not keep all the water out, but then they do not have to. They will keep most of it off the deck.
