clogged scuppers on ty

Post by bill »

I discovered a simple method of clearing leaves and other debris from the cockpit drains on my ty.
I found a small (about 3" dia) toilet plunger at Lowe's and tried plunging a clogged drain. The rotten leaves and water shot out so well, I got drenched. Except for having to clean up an unexpected mess, the drain was unclogged instantly. I now keep the small plunger on board as vital equipment.

I really like mine. It is also an instant conversation piece as well.
And when I labeled it "Scupper Supercharger" it really got the ball rolling!
