Sta-Plug Emergency Plug
Sta-Plug™ is
Forespar’s new form fitting emergency plug.
A soft cone shaped design allows it to easily fill the irregular shapes
of hull impact breaches, as well as any round hole leak from a hose or
through-hull.
Sta-Plug™ 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.
Unique edge gripping
riblets help hold the plug in a hole, keeping water out. The riblets help Sta-Plug™ conform to the
shape of the hole, sealing a leak near the edge where a tight fit is crucial,
and holding the plug more securely in place. Different by design, Sta-Plug’s™
shape includes a series of concentrically larger riblets stepped along the
length of the cone. These riblets offer
two big advantages over traditional straight edged emergency plugs: - They help Sta-Plug™ conform to the hole near the edge where
a tight fit is most crucial.
- They help hold it more securely in place.
- Twist and compress by hand to insert into hole.
- Expands after insertion to hold in place.
Intended for
temporary emergency use with continuous monitoring only, it gives the skipper
greater peace-of-mind to allow them to focus on getting the boat to safety. - Made from high density foam, Sta-Plug™ will remain soft and
ready to go for years and will not mold or swell up like conventional wood
plugs.
- Can be cut with a knife to use in irregular shaped holes, or
torn by hand near the riblets to make smaller diameter plugs for smaller
holes. Tearing at the 8th riblet creates
a plug with a 2” diameter base.
- Made from high density foam that is not susceptible to mold
or swelling.
- Bright orange color allows it to be quickly located in an
emergency.
- Dimensions: 9” High x
5” Diameter at base
- Made in the USA.
- NOT FOR FUEL LEAKS
