Donzi 28ZF. Scuppers? See photo

[hdl]

I have a new to me 2000 Donzi 28ZF. My "scuppers" are simply thru hulls meaning there is no flapper, ping pong ball, or duck bill scupper drains. Does this seem right? Should I change the thru hulls to one of the above mentioned drains? BTW this is factory. You can see the drain top in the picture.

If the deck is high enough from the waterline you dont need it, water will only want to find its own level, so a little bit MAY get in, but it wont go anywhere. Now if that fitting cracks or the hose fails well that is another story, no scupper or ping pong ball will help that.

Ray is right. If you have some water ingress onto the deck, but it seems to pose no real problem, i.e. drains back out quickly, then it's no big deal.

The key will always be the integrity of the t/hulls and the hoses attached to them. Should the hose dry out to the point of cracking (it is a 10 year old boat...), then you will have REAL problems.

Stick your head in the access hatches and see if you can do an inspection. And if you can reach the t/hulls, I'd replace the hoses if I were you...
