The Sole on Breeze is 12" above water, if I were to put through hulls with no valve through above the waterline they wold be roughly 10" below the cockpit sole with the boat level. Not sure if that is enough or not, have been trying to find the magic formula, there must be one somewhere. I don't fancy the crossed lines idea, doesn't really make sense to me with the hull shape of this boat which is pretty flat in the stern area. I do wonder if a larger seacock with a T on the top would work, both drains into the same seacock since you are only using one when underway anyway. I could probably rig an extension to the handle on that which could be easily operated from the lazarette, put it in the middle and get rid of the other two, that gives me more vertical drop and the ability to close it without crawling into the bilge. To the person who said you just have to empty the quarter berth, you should meet my sig other one day, it will be interesting to watch. Keep in mind this is coming from someone who up until 4 years ago was a pure racer. You wouldn't survive the conversation believe me! Having cruised with this lady on a Humboldt 30, I too saw the light, hence Breeze.
Also, thank you all for your input, much appreciated.
