Has anyone come up with a cheap solution to plugging the scupper holes.  I don't want to plug the all just the one under the seat.  Don't feel like paying 12-15 bucks for plastic.  Thought maybe someone used some pool noodles somehow. 

Thanks Pete

Rubber stoppers from a lab supply company work pretty well.  They come with a nice hole in them that you can fit some nylon line in to make handles.  The trick is to measure your scupper holes and pick the right stopper size.

Yep ;D  Cut it to shape with a plastic knife from McDonalds.
I hear foam golf balls work well too.

If you want a cheap and temp. plug just use duct tape.

ACK has pretty decent scupper plugs that look similar to, and function just as well, as the brand name versions at a 1/3 of the price:

These are the ones I purchased.  They work great.
