Emergency Vessel Leak Repair Kit
 
  • Grease tape
  • Tapered wood dowel plugs (one to fit each hull fitting penetration size on your vessel)
  • Flat wood wedges
  • A roll of natural fiber string
  • Hammer
  • Knife
  • Rubber patch material
  • Rags
  • Small hatchet (to split wedges to the correct size)
  • Clamps
Anything can be used to plug a hole. The idea is to give you time to secure your vessel, to prevent any more water entering your vessel, and allow your pump to keep up.

A bucket and hand pump will be necessary. Your batteries will be under water and electric pumps will not work. Consider placing a separate charged battery and wiring in the wheelhouse or flybridge for your radios.
