Gchuba,

The failed scupper outside your transom could have been replaced by a new FloMax of similar design. This is what I installed on mine, and it works great at keeping water out.

I have bilge pumps in both the aft fish locker and starboard sump.

I always have the plug in on the starboard sump when in water, yet pull it when on trailer.

Never fear plugs out in a Whaler from the 80's. These hulls will not let water rise above floor level at rest due to the outstanding floatation, and everything will drain when underway.
