I have a 2005 Kenner 2103 Vision. The "scupper" valves in the stearn have little one way flapper valves made of rubber. I had to replace one a couple of years ago. Now I need to replace the other one.. I cannot find anyone who has them, or even knows what I am talking about. Help!!!!

After market duckbill, flapper and ball scupper valves are readily available out there for self bailing boats. I bet iboats sells them right here. It is a simple installation. They should not be hard to source. I did Googling "Scupper valves" in about 2 seconds.

+1 I had to change mine and it was a 3 minute job.

The ball valve ones are better in operation... the flappers are less likely to get bumped and break.

Scupper valves..... Attwood and Perko are a couple of the manufacturers.

Seeing that your boat is 11 years old, I would recommend replacing the entire assembly since the retainer (white plastic) is mostly brittle from UV exposure.

I don't recommend the ball valves at all. Don't want "plastic" anything hanging off the back of the boat. Esaliy clogged and hard to clean
