1994 bayliner trophy 24 foot walkaround

[Jakem]

Here is a few issues saw

 

[cyclops222]

Just make sure the motor can TILT UP all the way and you can remove the top cover of the motor for servicing.

 

[Jakem]

Now that I've moved scupper drains up there to.high. theres no way to make it work besides below water line...now what

 

[cyclops222]

Can you post som pictures to show the NEW scoppers location ? There is NO NO reason to have ANY water splashed on the main deck to drain into the bilge. It is a stupid dangerous thing the company did. The scupper DRAINS should be just above the top of the deck.
I recall that someone found and and installed above deck scuppers with a closing valve in them to be used in rough water conditions. At that time some boats and LEAKY scuppers ...WILL fill the boat faster than the scuppers are able to drain the boat.

 

[cyclops222]

Any water getting into the bilge. Should be pumped out reliably by 1 of your 2 independently piped in place pumps.
The pumps, switches, fuses / circuit breakers, floats and hoses are...TOTALLY.... separate from each other. That way you should always have a dependable pump.

 

[Jakem]

No water spashes up on the deck. Right behind the transom is all sloped up. My bilge does have to pumps however hooked together, I will change that.

 

[Jakem]

The crappy thing now is that my deck won't drain rain water and it rains alot here during winter months

 

[Jakem]

There must be a solution to this my boat cant possibly be the only one that's ever had this going on lol.

 

[cyclops222]

I am out of things that have worked n other boats. Good luck

 

[Jakem]

Ok thanks for your help

Pretty common issues when re-powering older boats with modern (heavy) outboards.

That style of (open) transom was typical back in the day on boats with self bailing cockpits. Allowed water to move freely overboard in rough conditions. Most had a removable door (drop in board) to close off the transom if needed.

Pretty common to have the scuppers at, or below the water line when the boat is at rest. Most go under when heavily loaded. This issue was one of the major reason I removed Bayliner from contention the last time I boat shopped.

The scuppers need to be lower that the deck for scupper to work. Your boat is no longer "self bailing" What is you plan to keep water off the deck?

Back in the day, the boat would have been powered with twin 100's or twin 130's for full power. (~#600) The typical 200 Hp 2 stroke motor back in the day was roughly #400.

What is the combined weight of both motors?

 

[Jakem]

The 200 is 500 and kicker roughly 100

 

[Jakem]

From what I can tell is I either move the drains back down and redo the whole process I did to move them up...or tarp it when it rains...neither sound appealing

 

[Jakem]

As far as for more weight from the newer 200 according to Google it is almost the same from the 1994 yamaha 2 stoke it had

Here's the back

You gained ~#100 plus a kicker on the weight of a 200 hp 2stroke.

“Wet foot” is common on a lot of older boats with self bailing cockpits. It doesn’t take much to drop a scupper equal to or below the water line.

Doesn’t really matter where scupper is relative to the water line as long as the cockpit floor is above the water line.

I’ve had 6” of standing water on the deck (taking one over the bow) more times than I care to remember. Can’t imagine not have somewhere for all that water to go…in a hurry

 

[Jakem]

They were about 6 inches below that's why I moved them as I was told they shouldn't be below...however they worked...and now they don't lol

 

[Jakem]

Trust me I want them to work as they should I don't want water just hanging around especially fish water

 

[cyclops222]

Post 51 paragraph #2 has the best solution

Best friend bought a brand new 21’ Trophy in 1999. To resolve the scupper issue, Bayliner raised the cockpit floor up 4” or so, in effect shortening the height of the gunnels.

Coming from a boat with a thigh high gunnels, I couldn’t keep my balance. A drunken sailor anytime I was on that boat.

One wouldn’t think gunnel weight would affect balance but I can tell you first hand it does…lol
