do most people use a scoop type strainer or a mushroom type for the thru-hull water pickup for ballast. i will be using a reversible pump so I do not think the scoop will speed things up any...suggestions?
If you care about filling while at speed, you may want to consider a scoop even with a reversible pump. The mushrooms can be a bit 'bubbly' and take in a mix of air and water which will slow filling, at least on our x2.
