Description
TENOB Self Bailer Bungs – External Mount 35mm ID Black
TENOB large nylon self bailers feature a nitrile one-way diaphragm which is unaffected by petrol, diesel or oil. It also includes a bung sealing plug.
The self bailer is available in 2 versions:
- External mount – mounts externally outside the boat as with normal drain plugs for standard self-bailing.
- Internal mount – mounts internally on the boat: ideal for cockpit draining and for dinghies and inflatables as the plug is readily accessible.
- Flow rate – 500 litres per hour.
- Colour – black.
- Drain hole – 35 mm internal diameter.
- Mounting hole – drill a 41 mm mounting hole.
Warning: Ensure the mounting hole is drilled accurately to avoid leaks. Improper installation can lead to water ingress and potential damage to the hull.
Boat Hut Insight
When choosing between the external and internal mount versions, consider the boat’s typical use and maintenance routine. External mounts are great for continuous self-bailing while underway, but internal mounts offer easier access for quick draining when docked or stored. Also, remember that the self bailer’s diaphragm material being resistant to petrol, diesel, and oil means it’s a solid choice for boats with engines or fuel spills — less chance of damage or failure. A good tip: regularly check the diaphragm for wear or debris to keep the bailer working smoothly, especially after rough trips or heavy rain.
And a little boating humour: if your self bailer ever feels like it’s working harder than you, maybe it’s time to check if your boat is taking on water faster than expected!
