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?
