It's simple...if you take a greenie over the bow or the sides, a boat with
a transom like mine will shed that water a lot more quickly than a boat
with a closed transom.


Not to get into hypotheticals, but assume my previous example for a moment.
Your are out there drift fishing in a bit of a chop, the wind suddenly picks
up due to a thunder boomer nearby, the seas start getting confused and you
start taking a few splashes over the transom.


You wisely decide it's time to head in, but, alas! * That reliable Yamaha 4
stroke suddenly decided to have a bad computer day.
It won't start. *The boat's starting to bounce around a bit, some of the
growing waves smacking into that transom. *Your feet start getting wet ....
oh .... wait ... that's ok. *You don't mind.


Point is, if you took a serious greenie over the transom for some reason,
don't you need power on to clear it "quickly"?

Actually most of the time water rolls right out the *four* transom drains..


"Most of the time"? Just how often do you take on water over the
transom? What happens when the four drains don't do the job?

Ahhh...another customer for the bozo bin. Bye bye, a**hole.


Remember when you get to 20 you get a gold star. You must be getting close.
Eh?

WAFA "binned" someone for a perfectly valid question. His narcissism
evidently causes him to react this way - avoiding any hint of adversity
with a false promise of avoidance.
