You might tell Cape Dory the manual could stand to be revised. They meant cabin through-hulls (head, sink drain, engine intake) but didn't say so. Cockpit scuppers are like deck scuppers, they have to stay open.

P.S. A lot of folks don't follow the manual. Betcha 3 out of 4 boats out there have open seacocks all summer.
