I would think 4 knots would not be fast enough for the venturi to work
properly - it wasn't on my sailing boat. ....

Hi David,

Question .... Are the drain plugs simple holes or do they have any valve ???
How deep in the water do they work ??? What diameter ??? Are they placed
parallel to the hull, or do they have any angle to the water ???

What's the experience with sot's owners ??? I wonder why they seem to work
on sit on tops at low speeds and not in the sailing boat .... ( Dave, I´m
not doubting about what you said, I just mean that if both opinions are
right there should be a difference either in the kid of plug used, or the
way it´s set up ).

Best regards .-
