Forespar Sta-Plug Soft Emergency PlugView all products in Safety Accessories

Sta-Plug® instantly controls incoming water by automatically conforming to fill the shape of a hole. 

Whether it’s from hull damage, hose failure, corroded thru-hulls or any other source, Sta-Plug’s® soft cone-shape fills the gap. 

Its unique edge gripping riblets also help hold it in place, giving you precious time in an emergency.

• This is the adaptable alternative to the hard wooden bung plug
• StaPlug is the modern solution for emergency leaks on any boat
• Developed by Artelier Studio LLC and distributed by Forespar, the StaPlug is a soft, cone shaped plug designed to conform to the unpredictable shapes of most hull breaches
• Whether it's a round hole caused by mechanical failure or an elongated tear due to impact, StaPlug's shape adapts to the leak
• Tapered circular cone shaped plug made of a proprietary foam formulation
• Solid, spongy and coated with a flexible sealer

Specifications:

• Dimensions: 9" (23 cm) High x 5" (12 cm) Diameter
• Weight: 3.9 oz (110g)

Using the StaPlug:

• StaPlug is compressed by hand and inserted into the hole, stopping or reducing the inward flow of water as the foam returns to its original shape
• Can be cut with a razor knife and forced into elongated openings using a putty knife or similar tool
• Can be inserted into the ends of broken pipes by twist compressing before inserting and held in place
• Include it with your damage control kit for emergencies
• Not guaranteed to stop all water leaks - designed to be used alone or in conjunction with other emergency equipment including bilge pumps
• Suitable for holes up to four inches in diameter
• For boats under 30' we recommend two StaPlugs and a minimum of three for any boat in excess of 30'
  • This allows one Plug for a thru-hull/hose failure and provides spares for other holes or to cut in the event of a hull impact breach
• Unlike old fashioned wooden plugs, StaPlug's soft cone shape form allows it to be compressed by hand or cut to fit
• Specifically designed to fill irregular shapes, effectively reducing or eliminating most incoming water flows
• Can also be forced into hard-to-reach locations yet still works to seal most seacocks, valves, thru hull fittings and hoses
