With the boat out of the water, you have more options. If you poured a liquid penetrating oil down the scupper, it may coat the plug but chances are most of it will pass through onto the ground. If you could figure a way to plug the seacock from underneath so the oil would be stopped at the top of the plug when you pour from the top it may then seep around the plug. Maybe some Play-Doh?
