Is scupper shaft through the transom sealed to prevent water penetration to the wood in the transom?

Brent,
Not sure what you mean about the "Scupper shaft". The scuppers in the Tom Cat are through the side of the hull, and there is no coring in the side of the hull.

In the older CD 25, the scuppers were above the cockpit floor, and went out through the transom. These were not properly sealed, and should be removed and the core undercut, and filled with epoxy, then re-smoothed. The ping pong ball type of valves on the outside can be applied.

I can speak about the stern transom drain in the 22 and the 25 (not the 16, because I don't know). The tubes which are flared to some degree are not epoxy bedded. In my 25, I routed it out, and rebeded the tube with epoxy (may be difficult to remove, but no reason to remove it.

Thanks Bob

I didnt know if the scuppers were just 2 end pieces or have a tube connecting them to prevent water intrusion into the hull. Thanks a million! for your informative answer.

It is entirely possible that the original order for the boat had a Wallas, and the fuse was put in. There definately were things changed on my boat as/after it was built.
