Hi guys,
I'm just learning about this 1990 GW Tournament 19 I just purchased.
The scuppers on either side back of the stern seem to be below the water line. I just purchased replacement flaps as the current ones are very old and worn out. Aren't scuppers supposed to be above the water line? I purchased this boat with bottom paint already there and the scuppers are below the bottom paint line. Also, I notice water comes in the boat quickly when launched and surrounds the battery.
I'm hoping the new scupper flaps will help the problem but wondered if anyone here knows what the scupper situation is on a Tournament 19 model. Should it be blocked off instead of having a scupper to prevent the intake of water??
Thanks for the info in advance. -Steve
