I think it will take more than a couple of through hulls, the wet locker has a floor that slopes down toward the forward end. I think I will have to locate a hole in the transom just above the water line and create a solid tube that leads from the forward edge of the wet locker to the new holes I will make in the transom. Adding a flap valve shouldnt take too much thought, though as you say, if a following sea is that big, I am gonna be drenched any way!

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
