SCtiger2019 Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Hey guys, got a quick question for the board. I purchased a 2005 Pathfinder 22 last summer that had Rabud Scuppers on it already. Fished this weekend and the cockpit was filling up with several inches of water. I checked the scuppers when I got home and sure enough they were cracked and the drain lines clogged. My question is are Rabud the best brand? Also does anyone know where to purchase them? Also would it make sense to remove the rubber flap in the drain line to let water flow better? I assume I need the larger size for my boat Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief5130 Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 I do not know of a better solution than Rabuds. If you Google Rabuds you will find them. If the gasket is still in good shape, I would clean all of that crap out of the drain lines and see if they still leak. They will not work with all of the stuff in the lines.

smooth move Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 1-1/2" plumbers plugs. plug the holes inside the boat and be done with it. i have rabuds and they work ok untill 2 or more people get in the rear of the boat or on the same side. also kayak plugs work well.

Hutch03 Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 Dusky marine online will carry the 3 in replacement parts you need. Take out the internal flaps. Clean often. I have had very few issues since installing a set on my 2005 2200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smilemaker Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Gemlux makes a floor drain that uses a ball stop similiar to the way that raybuds work. It is very similar to a floor drain that was in an old Renken center console that I owned. The system worked well and was easy to maintain. The gemlux drain seems to be larger and this may make it possible to retrofit in the old 2200TE, but the big question is how much room exists between the floor and hull in the corner. If it would fit it would be a big improvement for dry feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
