If the boat is empty at the dock, the water in the well rises to just below the deck. If the boat is loaded with gear and crew, and the pump is off, you get wet feet in the back of the boat. Since the deck is sealed, the overflow doesn't go into the bilge.

No shut off. If I want to stop the water coming in, I pull the tube and replace it with a plug.
