orig moomba flow system?

[dakota4ce]

I’ve had great results with the original flow as well. I run approx. the same amount of weight ~5000lbs.

Dakota4ce - To say it’s a miscarriage makes about zero sense. All of the systems are bolted to the transom. This is just manual vs. automated. Would a automated system be better based on convenience? Sure! But from a performance standpoint you are using a device that works on the same principles as the suck gates that you are suggesting and you don’t have to worry about attaching it every time, finding the correct location, falling off, etc. Takes 10 seconds to set up, if that.

Now would I suggest ordering it on a new boat (if it was an option) vs an automated system - that answer is no.

Oops—see above. Further clarification is that I would not suggest a suck gate is better than an automated flow system. And if you are having that much trouble with your suck gate, then there must be something wrong. Once you find the correct spot and have a good product, they don’t fall off and work wonderfully. Again the original post is about manual flow, so you do have to get on your hands and knees reach down in the water and deploy the plate anyway. Buying this in 2017 and bolting it to your boat versus buying a good suck gate does not make sense.

The key to success: the 5000# you mention.

But hey, if a guy wants to buy some 2013 manual flow plates for more money than a suck gate and screw them to his boat, have at it. For me it is a silly move.
