I have had thru hull fittings snap off at the scupper just belwo the 90* bend on three seperate times in two years. I carry wine corks and 3/4 inch caps just for the quick fix to get home. Coincidentally, mechanics had been working in the bilge to pull the manifolds on one occasion and the starboard motor on the other. Is this coincidence or not. The fittings are for the raw water intake on port side and the starboard side would be the OB effluent discharge. Both sides have 3/4" 90* bend to 3/4 full port ball valves with Backflow preventors to hose bibs. I was thinking of replacing the scuppers and using closed cell foam supports to take the load off the scupper stand pipes. Anybody have this problem? Also, what hose do you use on the live well to Macerator discharge? I was thinking of plumbing this with a QD to allow for removal of the cooler for maintence to the bilge. Any thoughts.
