Scupper for fwd lockers

Post by Bob »

I'm missing one of the scuppers from the forward locker drain. I've had no luck thus far in my search. Does anyone know who made them or where they can be had?
Thanks

Bob,
I have the same problem - did you ever find a replacement?

I found one when I was cleaning a dark corner of the boat. Before I found it I had contacted the factory and they gave me a number for a raw water intake scoop which was way too small. I think you could make a quick mold using your existing scupper. Here are a couple of ideas; http://www.taxidermy.com/cat/18/flexible.html or http://www.hobbysilicone.com/resin.htm or http://www.lumicast.com/links.html

Hey Bob, the original fiberglass scoops/clam shells were made in house at PDQ. Tracking down the moulds might be tough. West Marine sells clam shells in stainless (# 226522)and PVC (# 183384) that can be used as replacements. James

I went through the clam shell drill when PDQ was alive and found the number given way too small. I was lucky enough to find a spare original in a locker so I never went any further. What I was intimating was that it should be pretty cheap and easy to splash a mold off of the other remaining scupper. I agree a big stainless one would be a quick fix.

James,
I tried to check out the WM numbers you provided to no avail they do not appear to be valid numbers. Any other thoughts? Thanks!

Hey Phil, I double checked and they are the west marine skew / part numbers. If still no joy, look them up in the index under clamshell vents. There are a few different styles and sizes to choose from. James
