Boat Scuppers
Keep your boat from taking on water with our range of boat scuppers
Whether you're an avid boat enthusiast or a casual boat owner, scuppers are essential for keeping your vessel dry and free of excess water. Known as scupper drains, scuppers are designed to allow water to drain out of the boat instead of pooling in bulwarks or gunwales — this can even help prevent mould and mildew from building up in your boat’s interior!
At Marine Depot, we stock an extensive range of boat scuppers to keep your vessel afloat. Shop the range online for fast, affordable shipping throughout Australia and free shipping over $499*.

FAQs about scuppers
- Are scupper drains hard to install?
No, deck fillers (scuppers) are not hard to install. Most boat scuppers come with detailed instructions and can be completed with only basic tools. However, If you're unsure how to install boat scuppers properly, it is best to consult a professional boat mechanic or installer. They have the experience and know-how to quickly and properly install boat scuppers, making them both secure and effective.
- Do scuppers need to be inspected?
Boat scuppers need to be inspected regularly to ensure they function properly. If scuppers become blocked due to dirt or debris, boat decks can quickly become cluttered and unsafe. They should be checked at least once a month for any signs of blockage or deterioration.
- How do I maintain my scuppers?
Once a month, we recommend clearing away dirt or debris that might accumulate in scupper openings and checking for any signs of corrosion or deterioration. If the scupper is too corroded or damaged, it’s time to invest in a new scupper from Marine Depot!
- What are some common scupper types?
Some common scupper types include through-bulwark boat scuppers, flush-mounted boat scuppers, and deck outlet boat scuppers. They are usually constructed from plastic, brass, copper alloy or stainless steel.
- What other accessories do I need?
In addition to boat scuppers and drains, you may also want to consider investing in other boat accessories to help keep your boat functioning properly. Depending on the size of your boat, you may need fuel tanks, bilge pumps, mooring lines, anchors, a marine radio, and/or navigation lights.
