Boat Bungs - Have a Bung for Every Through Hull Fitting
July 14, 2024 by SailingBritican | Language: EN Play Time: 00:00:48 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
On this episode, SailingBritican discusses the importance of having a bung for each through hull fitting on their boat.
Bungs – Essential for Through Hull Fittings
The main reason for having a bung for every through hull fitting is to ensure that if any part of the system fails, water can be sealed out effectively. Typically, they have 23 holes in their boat, so keeping an appropriate number of bungs on hand is essential.
A Bung for Every Situation
SailingBritican emphasizes that it’s crucial to have the right size of bung on hand and readily accessible. If a pipe breaks, they can quickly shut off the water using their stopcock. However, if this fails or isn’t possible, having bungs readily available allows them to seal the leak.
Customizing the Bung System
On their boat Brian, SailingBritican has customized their bung system. This ensures that they always have a suitable size bung available for any through hull fitting without having to rummage through bags searching for the right one.
A Well-Stocked Bung Kit
SailingBritican always keeps their bung kit well stocked with a selection of different sizes. This preparation is key to ensuring they’re ready for any water leaks that may arise, regardless of the situation.
Maintaining the Bungs
To maintain their bung system effectively, SailingBritican keeps everything neatly organized in labeled bags. This organization makes it easy to find what they need and ensures nothing is misplaced or lost.
A Bung for Every Through Hull Fitting
In summary, having a bung for every through hull fitting on their boat is crucial. This preparation allows SailingBritican to respond quickly and efficiently in any situation where a water leak may occur.

#1240797 I inspire couples and families through adventure and freedom to become sailing cruisers. In 2013, my wife and 3 1/2-year-old daughter purchased the largest boat we could and sailed over 45,000 miles through the Mediterranean, crossing the Atlantic, all over the Caribbean, and along America's east coast. My wife and daughter are taking a break from sailing so our daughter can go to school. In the meantime, I'm teaching couples and families how to live the sailing life!
