But a cruising speed of 3 or 4 knots should work fine ( 4 knots is a
regular speed for small vessels ).>>

I would think 4 knots would not be fast enough for the venturi to work
properly - it wasn't on my sailing boat. I also have the same problem
with my neoprene skirt when I use my foot pump. It is air tight and the
skirt slowly concaves in as I pump
