I took this from another member's flicker album. This is the rear of a 27FC with the factory Whalerdrive.

Is this what we are talking about?


That is not what mine looks like. Mine is the Armstrong bracket which I think is aluminum. If that is what was originally on mine then mine is definitely modified.

What I might do is just trim those two drain pipes flush with the transom and then put a regular scupper that mounts directly to the transom. I think that would be easier and safer than me worrying about getting the flapper valve to fit. I just don't want to be out on the water and have a flapper fall off, which could actually happen since it's just held on there with a hose clamp.
