our scuppers are open, no flapper so yes, water comes in, especially if you're heavy for the kayak. Or if you hit some heavy water where the water will squirt in through the scupper holes then drain back out. I never put scupper plugs in as I want the water draining but some people leave the scupper plugs in all of the time. I guess it's a personal preference. As long as the water isn't entering the inner hull you are okay.
