The scoop idea I have for the Mk1 wet feet is to mount at the end of the drains, a standard water inlet fitting turned around. They are designed to scoop the water in normally. By turning around you create a suction instead, which should keep the water out. This theory is based on the comments that the problem is worse when moving. I described the idea some months ago in the forum, and I was wondering if anybody had tried it.


Ian, can you describe more or better have a picture? I tried to get a flat rubber one way flap mounted in cockpit but wrong dimensions

dsim,

It has to be mounted on the hull underwater to work, not in the cockpit.
