    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
