celenoglu,
I have a cockpit drain lines that run down to through hull fittings. If I did not follow the 'what can go wrong, will go wrong' mentality, I would always leave the cockpit drain line through hull valves open, to allow rain water drainage from the cockpit.
I am just concerned about leaving a through hull in the open position while I am away from the boat.
I have a bilge pump hooked up through a float switch, but the breaker switch needs to be turned on in order for it to work.
My question is: Do other members leave their through hull valves in the open position?
Wow, we're shopping for our first sailboat and it never occurred to me that you should close all your through hulls every time you leave your boat. Am I understanding this correctly or is the question just in regards to the cockpit?
