Re: Shut my big pie hole !
Hooper,
While redoing my 23, we filled in every hole in the boat, including the scuppers and splashwell drain. We decided to eliminate these altogether and drain both directly to the bottom of the bilge and set up a Rulemate 500 down low and a 2500 up a little higher.
As it is a trailer boat, I don't see an issue except putting more hours on the pumps and the risk of battery rundown while the boat is moored unattended. With 220 amp hours to work with, solar back-up I don't see a problem. Offshore with lost power? Bucket power.
I'll let you know as the season is experienced.
