Ron, Dik: You should be able to find some check valves for the drains. If not, why not make a flapper that rides over the exit on the transom. That should keep majority of a pooper out of the cockpit.

Hello Dik, Well I blew it on the distance from the cockpit to the transom, when we got to the boat today I went "whoops!" because it measured 11.5 inches on "hula pie", outside to outside, and maybe some 1.5 inch thruhulls will work after all. Would a following sea wash thru? Maybe you would be so wet at that point it wouldn't matter.
Ron
