Wouldn't that eliminate the need for an intake pump?

Only if you want to sink your boat. :) 'Cuz as long as the intake
seacock is open, water outside the boat is gonna seek its own level
INside the boat...and will rise to the waterline in--or above the top of
the bowl.

But, don't they make a vented loop system to keep that from happening?
Oh, I see, then you'd still need a pump to get the water up past the
vented loop. Duh!

Never mind.
