Everyone I have encountered in person on the water or at the dealer expos or in the actual boater discussion groups has either not opted for the damned dam (!) or has removed it because it is unnecessary. Except for one guy, that is. The top of the transom at the motor cutout already is 25" minimum, and the dam adds about 11" to that. Two of my last three small boats had "motor well" transoms. The third was an open 20" transom. If a large stern wave wants to come aboard, it fills up the well and flows right over it into the cockpit, and then the issue is getting rid of the water in a hurry. Same if you take a greenie over the bow. The issue is to get rid of the water, fast. If you have a a "motor well" transom and only a pair of bitty scuppers to drain the cockpit, well, you might have an ocean of trouble in your boat. Typically, when a wave hits the stern, the stern simply rises. Sometimes you might get a little water aboard. If you do, the scuppers drain it. That's been my experience for more than 50 years. I rarely boat on small inland lakes, but if most of my experience was on small, protected bodies of water, I might be afraid of the ocean, too. |

All the Parker's with transom cutouts I saw at the boat show had these splash boards. I couldn't help thinking, they must be there for a reason. |
