How thick is a Bravo transom?
I need to add two thru hull water dumps for my water pressure relief valves. I need to know how long to buy, I want to dump them on the outdrives.

I welded in a pipe to each of my silent choice divertors and dump the water out the tips on the back side of the valves.

Not to be a bummer, but my transom is 3" thick. But I doubt if anything just dumped out the transom without being dirested within an inch of the top of the drive is never going to hit it's mark with all the turbulance going on back there. I had plumbed in another sea water pickup and a third strainer, plumbed out the transom to 2 Latham top steering plates with fittings and hooked it up with braided line. That was in addition to drive showers. Didn't run any cooler than the showers but it did look cooler. My 2 cts.
