TruPlugŪ 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.
"If it were not for the quick use of the TruPlug to stop the leak...the boat would have sunk."
- Sgt. Dan Smock of the Harbor Patrol
