Could someone please give me some addnl info of these. Thanks, Jim

Here's a picture of where I'm talking about installing check valves...and the link below is to the style of check valve I intended...

The valves shown in Smoke's post above are considered "scupper" valves...the link here is the one I was talking about...it is installed internally in the hose that connects the outter thru hull fitting to the inside thru DECK (drain)fitting...as the outter thru hull fitting goes out the side of the boat, I don't think a "scupper" fitting would be a good idea...although they would be fine to run out the transom of the boat...
