I have always been led to believe that on a boat underway if it slams the force of the water into an open port could cause it to fail. Hence when travelling at low speeds I will leave them open. For faster modes I will close them.
When unnattended for the aforementioned periods of time they will always be closed. Cant remember who told me but seems to make sense? Close to an old wives tale but suits me sir!
