How To Keep Her Afloat At The Dock Until I Can Get Her Out Of The Water???

A NAPPY FOR THE BOAT!!!
I have don this many times for unfortunate owners all over the world and recommend you carry this as an emergence kit if not for yourself then for other"s.

THE KIT CONSISTS OF: Hand stapler (stainless)
Stainless Staples (recommended) but any

THE METHOD: Get in the water staple plastic at water line t unroll under hull staple at opposite side
Water pressure will plaster plastic to the
hull
NOTE:......................Attach to toe rail or deck if necessary?
If there is a specific area just patch
If it is the stuffing box or shaft try cling film or saran rap this will give you plenty of time and let you sleep on it
GOOD LUCK M8
