New word for me.
I gather they are one-way drains.
I gather I should open them when I 'm using the sinks.
I gather I should be "green" about what goes down the sinks.

"I gather they are one-way drains"

On most of C25's they are drains... but they work just fine as water intakes for inboard engine cooling, washdown pumps... etc.

Federal law says you can't discharge anything that can make a slick.

If you have a marine head, the forward seacock is also the flush water intake.
