Self-bailing deck

[Riverrat]

Well all i can say GC is thats the luck ive had ..Did you try them yet if so tell me what im doing wrong .

[GC]

I'll have it in the water this coming weekend......I'll report back!
I don't think they'll be any worse than the flaps...the splash well already doubled as a live well!!

GC all i can say is they didn't work for me ,,
how did the one you have work ?

[GC]

My boat has a 95 gallon fuel tank....if you fill it, put 4 guy's, tackle, two coolers, etc...it sits down in water....... Lightly loaded, it's not a problem.....

I had sea dog rubber flappers...and they were basically like having nothing at all....of course they were a few years old, and needed replacing....
I'm hoping these will do a little better.....although, nothing short of a plug will keep the boat completely dry.

I have the rubber scuppers and they work fine. I think the key is to keep them pliable with armor all or something like that. I never get water coming on the deck.

guess I'll throw in my .02.....my boat came w/ the ping pong balls already installed (19 polar rg)....they work great imo, and not to go against the grain but they're not very noisy....better to have a little noise than wet feet in the winter time

i am going to try them out this weekend, hope they work

[MstrBaiter]

good luck....let's us know what you think after the weekend

[GC]

BALL SCUPPERS!!

Had the boat loaded to the gills....90 gallons of fuel, 3-men, + my wife, Two 120 quart coolers....one full of ice, the other with .......Terrible wind and waves.......no water on the floor......didn't hear them rattling either (could've been the gale force wind)

I'm impressed!

cept i did hear the noice, probably will get used to it
