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"? Eisboch 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? |
