StaPlug® is a temporary or emergency plug for your boat
where water would enter a circular, oval, or irregular hole caused by maintenance
failure or hull breach due to impact. A 2" hole in your
boat, only 1 foot below the waterline would fill a 55 gallon drum
in 40 seconds. Bilge pumps can not keep up.
You must stop the water.

knife or similar tool.

be held in place.
