Triumph 210 Scupper fix

[joe c]

Hi guys. I have a 2004 210 Chaos and ,like many of you find that the transom scuppers leave much to be desired allowing water to backflow into the fish boxes. I have designed a fix that can be installed pretty easily and works very well. The cost is about $220 and I estimate the installation time to be about 3 hours. I have written down installation instructions,a list of required materials and several sketches showing how to install this check valve system. Unfortunately, I, not being the most computer saavy person in the world don,t know how to post photos on the site but if anyone wants to post their own photos for the benefit of others after they make this modification themselves feel free.If you are interested in checking this out you can E-Mail me and I will be more than happy to send you the info or answer any questions you may have.

Hi NCangler. I have a complete package to do this installation. E -mail me a fax # and I will send you everything I have then you can post it on the site. I'm a good fisherman( but a lousy computer guy)-I dont know how to get this info on the site. I'll check my E-mail tomorrow morning. Tight lines.Joe C.

Hi Joe, I'm having the same problem with my scuppers also. Would like to see your fix. You may e-mail me at Tallmantwo @aol.com if you can't get on here. Mel

Hi Joe,
I would love to see your fix. I have a 2000 210 Logic. It has been very aggrevating and damp when I am out fishing. I have tried the ping pong ball deals at the transom and they do not seem to work because I am still getting a lot of water coming through them and my scuppers at the deck do not work. You can e-mail me at lkn4us@bellsouth.net. Thanks again, Arden

Hi Guys,

Is there any better way to fix the scuppers in a 2000 210cc? I do not care for standing in water when it's 35 degrees outside striper fishing. Yes, I know they make boots but there is a lot of water coming in and going into my rear fish box and the bilge. Suggestions would be great. Thanks, Arden

I've got a note out to Triumph on this. Let's give them a little time and see what we can find out.

OK, not claiming to have all the answers, but here is my solution.

When we installed the Raymarine optional high performance transom mount transducer kit we created our first water intrusion problem. The kit includes the retractable transom mounting kit and utilizes the M256 High Performance Depth transducer. This thing is huge. In order to install it correctly, we had to remove the starboard transom drain ball scupper. We did utilize one of the included wedges and four stainless steel bolts as spacers so that water could exit the starboard side of the boat.

We understood that if we had a severe problem of water entering the boat at this location, we would have to go back solve the problem.

The solution that worked for us came from Specialty Pool Products. In the northern part of this great country, folks have to winterize their pools. One of the parts that many use is called a winterizing pipe plug.

These rubber expandable plugs are used for sealing fittings during winter shut-down for pools. Simply push the properly sized plug into the fitting or pipe and turn the wing nut clockwise. As you tighten this wing nut, the plug body will expand putting pressure between the plug and the pipe or fitting. This pressure fit makes for a watertight application. They are inexpensive and work great. Make sure you purchase the correct size plug for the job.

To solve the problem that we created, we purchased two Winterizing 1 1/4" pipe plugs, Item Number: WNA TEC WP7 with today’s price of $3.09 each.

Now to help solve the problem of water getting past the transom wells and into the fish boxes, we needed to move to the next step. We removed the 4 screws that held the rubber flap over the hole that goes from the transom well to the floor of the boat. Measuring the opening from the transom well side, we found the hole was 1 3/4 inches wide. We called Specialty Pool Products and ordered two Winterizing 2" FTP plugs, Item Number: WNA TEC WP12 with today’s price of $3.59 each.

Because our first ones work so well, I also ordered a spare of each size, just in case I lose one. That will save me money in the long run because while they do not charge for shipping, they do have a handling fee of $8.95 per order.

We understand that we will need to remove these plugs to get any water out of our boat, but this should help the water from getting in over and thru the transom.

If an owner was to order three of each size plug so they have a spare, the total cost should be $28.99 delivered to your door.

The web site for the above products is: http://www.poolproducts.com/-c-WNCWNTPLG-FNM-92.htm or you can call them and ask for Debbie.

Hope this helps.

Please remember. I caused the problem. The boat did not come from the factory with the problem. In my case, I am just fixing a problem I caused.

Are the scuppers on the 215 different than the ones one the 210? I don't think I'm having any scupper issues, but I'll pay closer attention on my next trip.
