Subject: Cockpit Drain Hoses
Info: (6612 views) Posted: Sunday 5-24-09 10:19:16 PM
Hi I have large valves attached to each of my cockpit drain hose too and I have sat in the cabin looking at them thinking what they might be used for. (When you might want to shut them.) I can not see how they can protect from though-the-hull failures. If the drain through-the-hull fails, it will be of concern if it is outside the hosing system--in which case shutting the the valve would be pointless. If the cockpit is awash with a wave, there is no need to close the valve then either. The only reason I could see to close the valve would be to take a bath in the cockpit, but I have better places to that. Someone spent some time and some money to install these things. I do not under stand why. Could someone explain this?
