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.
