Abstract
A scupper plug for selectively sealing a scupper hole is provided. The scupper plug can include a tapered sealing surface and one or more legs extending from the tapered sealing surface. The legs can include tapered retention surfaces positioned at a distal portion of the legs, and stopping shoulders adjacent to the tapered retention surfaces. The scupper plug can have a central cavity extending between the first and second legs and defining first and second cutouts extending through the first and second legs. When in a closed position, the tapered sealing surface can be positioned to sealingly contact a scupper surface in the scupper hole to prevent water flow through the scupper hole, and when in an open position, the tapered retention surfaces can be positioned to contact the scupper surface to retain the scupper plug in the open position to permit water flow through the scupper hole.
