Barnacles will clog it up.
Full thru hull, with valve, has to be grounded like mentioned above

The electrolysis is the big issue. Check out your zincs when you haul it out. All it takes is a boat with a bad ground on the next dock to wreak havoc on your boat's parts. Sometimes it's the marina that's discharging.... If I were in a marina, I would hang huge sacrificial zinc fish every time I tied up the boat.....
