2001 Grady 265 scupper reposition height

[Sketchywind]

I’m having my transom rebuilt and want to reposition the scuppers to handle new 4 stroke weight.

How much higher is a good position to allow deck to drain and prevent scuppers from sitting wet?

I’ve read 1.5” to 2”

I’ll post the transom rebuild project soon.

Thanks !

How far below the cockpit floor are they currently?

The absolute closest you could go to the floor BOTTOM is determined by the scupper hose, fitting, and access. The hose is roughly 2" OD. So that's your bare minimum - although that would be really tight. Better to go a little further and get better drainage, too. But that's 100% your call.

HOWEVER... how much more do they actually weigh? Engines like Mercury's are quite light. Compare your weights... stack that amount on top of the engines and see what it does. Maybe it'll be fine?

Hey Frank, whose doing the work for you? Grand Marina? I may be interested in that modification as well. Let us know how it goes if you would. THanks.
