Self-Bailing Deck Question

[Michael Vezzosi]

Thank you for explaining what I kind of expected to hear. I've only taken one over the bow from a large wake, and it really did not phase me. But I could see taking two or three unexpectedly and the bilge pump completely overwhelmed. I am not too proud to say that I have launched while forgetting the plug. Back on terra firma rather quickly and that pump ran for a long time. I would like to have a more modern/professional system than the last, and will probably have assistance from a friend in the business. I guess I would want a short 90 just below the deck, then slightly sloping pipe through the transom, ending with the ping pong ball type scuppers. Pretty much what was there before, but if I remember correctly, the PVC extended past the transom almost an inch, threaded, and caps were left inside the livewells port and starboard. I think I ran them capped until I came home to wash the boat, probably because They were located below the waterline. Sound correct? Thanks all. Vezo, Part II.
