Author	Topic:   Leaking DAUNTLESS 220
Milepost43	posted 08-04-2004 08:36 AM ET (US)         After much effort, I have determined that my new DAUNTLESS 220 has a small leak where the port scupper goes through the transom. I tried to tighten the clamp, but it was already tight. I think (and hope) this is the only one. I will be taking [the boat] back to the dealer [for repairs?]. Has anybody else had trouble with leaks in their new Boston Whaler boat? Is there anything I am missing? Thanks.

Whalerider	posted 08-06-2004 07:29 AM ET (US)             Yup..my new Nantucket had 2 leaks. One was from the scupper like you have. It was replaced along with whe hose that connects to it. Another was from the live well pump output connection, it was also replaced. All seems well now. I love my Nantucket but someday I may replace all the plastic thru hulls with stainless, I just dont like the idea of plastic. Mark

I would get a splash through the outlet for the bilgepump that goes out the back or the boat. This happens when I back down kinda fast or when I launch on a steep ramp. Just another area to check.
myakka	posted 11-30-2013 06:36 PM ET (US)             Yes I know how old this thread is. I replaced my scuppers on my Dauntless 220 today. The port scupper is a bear but it can be reached. I replaced both with bronze scuppers from Marine Surplus in Sarasota,Fl. ($49.95 each) If you want to stay with plastic the ome scuppers look like P/N Attwood 38811. They are very long. The new scuppers are about 3/8" shorter. Most all others found on the shelves down here in Fl are MUCH shorter. If you are contemplating putting a jack plate on or re powering. that would be the time to pull the back section off and install new hoses and drains etc. Just a heads up. Mike
