Critical Damage Control for Marine Emergencies
Ensure your vessel's safety with the AirowMarine 10-Piece Emergency Wooden Plug Set. Engineered from premium, high-porosity softwood, these tapered plugs are designed for immediate response to hull breaches, broken seacocks, and failed thru-hull fittings. The natural fibers leverage hydro-expansion technology, swelling rapidly upon contact with water to create an unshakeable, watertight seal within seconds.
- Precision Tapered Geometry: Assorted sizes from 4mm (0.16") to 38mm (1.5") provide a universal friction-fit solution for various orifice shapes.
- Rapid Expansion Material: Porous softwood grain allows for maximum moisture absorption, ensuring the plug tightens as the leak persists.
- Comprehensive Kit: Includes 10 plugs in 7 distinct size profiles to cover everything from small hose failures to large valve breaches.
- Essential Safety Gear: A mandatory addition to any damage control kit for yachts, fishing boats, and sailing vessels.
Don't leave the dock without a fail-safe defense against flooding. These plugs provide the vital temporary fix needed to reach port safely for permanent repairs.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Why is wood used instead of rubber for emergency plugs?
- Softwood is superior for emergency breaches because it is naturally porous. Once inserted and exposed to water, the wood fibers undergo hydro-expansion, increasing the plug's volume and tightening the seal against the hull or fitting, whereas rubber may slip under high water pressure.
- Can these plugs be used for irregular-shaped holes?
- Yes. The tapered geometry and the relative softness of the wood allow it to deform slightly and conform to irregular breaches, seacocks, or torn hoses, providing a secure friction fit that resists dislodging.
- Are these plugs reusable after they have expanded?
- These are designed as single-use emergency devices. Once they have expanded and dried, the wood fibers lose some of their rapid-expansion capability. For maximum safety at sea, always replace used plugs with a fresh set.
