The M-17 I got last summer (#633) has seacocks installed in the cockpit drain
lines. With them open, water does splash into the cockpit a little,
particularly in a following chop. It drains back out, and is only a minor
irritation. Close them up and is stays dry at all times. I've never taken on
any real
water over the side or bow, but if I did I'd want to open them up quick.
