Re: Stus-List Epoxy Putty
I had watched that video series years ago - but it was good to go
back a re-read the comments.
The epoxy putty my friend used cured underwater - so he was able
to hold it in place and get a fair seal (smaller diameter hole
likely made it easier as well)
Dennis - I had heard of the toilet bowl wax ring idea before -
but thanks for the reminder --- I'd hate to try and clean the
surface after the wax but I bet it would do a pretty good job of
stemming water flow.
The other recommendation I got from another friend who lost his
stuffing box entering a rough inlet is a rubber tire tube and zip
ties -- he was able to get a passable seal that allowed him to
sail to a marina
I've never had reason to use my bungs or plugs - but I'll add a
couple wax rings, inner tube, and epoxy putty for a little extra
insurance.

It is an interesting test with some useful advice.
There must be somewhere a PDF of it (I have it), but I
cannot find it. And they have some interesting videos, as
well. On other topics, as well.

Also keep a couple of toilet bowl wax rings on board
for plugging that odd shaped hole.
Anybody tried Forespar's Sta-Plug?

I was talking to a friend the other day - he was
telling me how he wrapped a line around his prop and
jammed his strut up into the hull. He discovered a
small fountain of water coming in.
He had some of the epoxy putty - squeezed it together
to start the reaction and mashed it in around the
damaged area - he then held it in place with his
hands as it warmed up and cured. 90% of the water
stopped - so he mixed up a bit more and was able to
stop all the incoming water. Confident enough that he
left the boat on a mooring overnight and had it hauled
a day or 2 later for repairs.
I'm thinking I should have a couple tubes of this on
the boat for emergencies.

BTW - Jamie at Shining Waters Marine did his repair -
my friend had nothing but great things to say about
the workmanship -- I believe Jamie is C+C lister Mike
Amirault's son.

Re: Stus-List Epoxy Putty
I keep various tube on board. I had a bleed screw that was slightly stripped and managed to work it's way loose. In fact it blew itself off. I couldn't get it to stay tight enough without skipping a thread so I removed the fitting, plugged the important ports with a paper towel, and then packed the bleed port with steel filled epoxy putty before reinstalling the bleed screw. I smoothed the epoxy to capture the the screw head and let it cure for an hour while we waited on the hook. An hour later we we back in business. Thinking that the proper thing to do would be to replace the fitting, I did. Then had the new bleed screw strip/come loose! I retrieved the epoxied fitting and reinstalled. It is there to this day.

Re: Stus-List Epoxy Putty
Mark There are several varieties. Some will cure underwater. I have 2 or 3 on Persuasion. I did do a repair on a waterline on a friends boat. To my knowledge it became a permanent repair. Can't remember which ones I have. Probably available at Harbour Freight or Princess Auto north of the border.
