[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 381876, member: 15636"] 110% correct! Here's a lesson my offshore days/experience taught me ... [b]A 2" hole only 1' below the waterline will let in ~78-gallons per minute. That is 4680 gallons per hour! Plus, at typical 8.5 pounds per gallon for saltwater, that is [color=#FF0000]663 POUNDS per MINUTE[/color] being added to the boat.[/b] Holy s#$t that's a ton of weight! Now, many here [i]may not need[/i] that redundancy, but I tell you, I like the backup! [/QUOTE]
