Finster, In my eyes I likethe present configuration better than if they ran thru th e transom. The main reason is that I like it when it rains the rain water just flows towards the stern and out the boat. This is just a preference. Running thru te transom would have a big advantage also though because you could increase the size of the thru-hull to say 1 1/2 to 2" which will get rid of water fast if you happen to take a green one over the bow, and also you dont have to worry about plugging them up like you do when they run thru the hull. Six of one..........
