The Chris Craft I am restoring has a garboard drain that is shaped like a scoop with the opening facing aft. I really don't see the purpose of the scoop and I am sure it adds some drag. I am thinking about replacing it with a flush one unless someone can give me a good reason for the scoop.

Re: Garboard drain

Normally they face aft to allow water to drain out when the boat is on plane. If you do not plan to use this feature, it can be removed.
