a self-bailer in a sailing dinghy. There are several designs (a throttle-body thing that lowers into the water, a wedge that swings down aft, etc) but they all work on the bernoulli principle. There might not be a problem, but it might be an issue at higher speeds. Certainly not at low speeds. Maybe...

Mathias, Is there a risk of starving the engine if they were facing aft? (think Bernoulli). On the ferry pictured below, water to the main engines and other needs was drawn from a manifold that spanned the engine room. However, the manifold was small enough that with extra pumps drawing from it the ...

It's a long haul down to Florida from Ohio! A couple of friends of mine (who live closer to Florida) sailed their 15' and 17' boats over to the Dry Tortugas a couple years ago and had a grand time! http://alt.coxnewsweb.com/palmbeachpost/photos/accent/marooned/ Have fun!
