I've been using Fellowship's Vortex check valves on my Seafari for a couple of months now and they work well. Boat is self bailing at dock with no one aboard, but I used to have to plug the scuppers when underway to avoid wet feet. I have 2 batteries, both on stbd side, but have gone with an Optima gel batt for the location at stbd chine, since it only weighs about 35 lbs. Batt No. 2 is a big group 27, ~ 60 lb, located under seat between stbd stringers.
