Has anyone tried one of these?

Now you can add a simple drain system to keep your bilge empty as you drive! Our complete kit comes with all the hardware for the easy installation. The other kits are even simpler! just unscrew your drain plug and screw our duckbill drain plugs in place. Keep your old one if you ever need to change!

I tried one on another boat I had and was not pleased with it at all. It never would drain the sump out completely

They've been around a long time, it (was) usually faster to pull the plug out (up on plane) to drain.

Kind of a cool idea though.

Yeah- I was just looking online to see if anyone had some kind of scupper that I could use on my Montauk. It's trailered and garaged, so it would not be subjected to the elements too much.
