![]() ![]() Those plugs should be tied one to each through-hull and ready to go, no looking about.Ī wooden boat really should have some bits of wood and nails at hand. Stay Afloat is not even remotely a substitute for a softwood tapered plug for a through-hull fitting. The video is dangerously and insultingly misleading given how trivial those staged leaks are, juxtaposed with boats well past the stage where a little dab'll do ya. Like that cracked fibreglass panel in the video would be panting in even the most modest sea. Tests show that it has little independent adhesion if well below the waterline or if the hole is large or is moving. Of course, in the vid it would have been more sensible to close the seacock but that's advertising. As you can see from the video, it does stop very low pressure leaks at the waterline in calm conditions. Stay Afloat is like a slightly improved plumber's putty.
